[QUOTE="minivin, post: 42217, member: 643"] Another problem I am not happy about, is that the mounting flange is much thicker than the mounting studs allow. The nuts and studs not being in "safety" (which in general in aerospace terms is "one and a half" threads protruding through the nut) is unacceptable. Either longer studs should be supplied, or the flange reducing in thickness to allow the nuts to be in safety. I used Loctite 270 to help guarantee the fasteners staying tight, but anyone else who does not do this could have their magneto fall off: [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/minivin/media/DSCF6962.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/minivin/th_DSCF6962.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Finally for me, I am not happy with how the wiring loom exits the body of the magneto. It exits against one of the crankcase mounting stud bosses which over time runs the risk of the loom chaffing through and shorting-out: [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/minivin/media/DSCF6963.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/minivin/th_DSCF6963.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I believe the exit hole needs moving to the bottom of the body (for moisture reasons this would also be a wise solution. Does anyone else have any issues before I contact BT-H? [/QUOTE]
