That's exactly what I do. I started with one glue on pad. In the
unheated hangar I was in at the time it didn't get my oil warm enough.
So I put a second one on next to the first. Now, with a Kennon nose
mitten on, the oil gets to and stays at 100F. Each CHT and EGT gets to
and stays at 80F. So for $35 for each pad I laugh at the fools who
spend $150+ for the exact same thing because Reiff, Tanis, etc put "FAA
approved" on the box. It apparently never occurs to anybody that the
words "FAA Approved" mean exactly nothing. What a bunch of lemmings.


I truly hope you are never ramp checked or worse yet have an accident where
the insurance company will not payoff because the aircraft is not airworthy.
Tractor parts are simply not legal on certified aircraft. Risking the value
of your aircraft for a few dollars seems to be foolish at a minimum.
Lemmings indeed.........
