Gentlemen,  
In keeping up w/ the "alternatives" mentioned to compliance w/ SB in
question,  I would respectfully suggest that an inquiry as to the
insurance issue be made.  

In these days where we are seeing the major insurance companies
attempting to weasel out of paying legitimate claims for any reason
whatsoever,  I would hesitate to "not fully comply" with a Service
Bulletin.  

As has been stated on this forum,  a SB is considered by some to be
analagous to an "AD".  It wouldn't take a great leap of thought for a
creative insurance adjuster to bounce a claim where  this may be an
issue.

While I'm sure that the readers and builders agree that THEY should be
responsible for detirmining the necessity for "compliance" with the SB,
we are not necessarily the last word on this issue.  

While I realize that I'm just adding my .02 worth of 100LL to the fire,
I don't believe that this issue should be ignored without being
cognizent of the possible insurance complications.(I.E. "don't shoot the
messanger)

Respectfully,   Jeffrey B. Chipetine


[I second that.  Ref my addendum to Bill Rumburg's last post on the
subject Service Bulletin.        <Marv>     ]
