Hi Jay,

The instruction manual I got from Lightspeed for installing the = Lightspeed=20 Plasma III on my Legacy's IO-550 engine says to remove the existing seal = retainer and use Lightspeed's mounting bracket instead. That's = what I did=20 and it's working fine. Don't forget to test the clearance between = the=20 sensors and the magnets with the crankshaft pulled forward and pushed = in. =20

By the way, the instruction manual also says to check the timing = with a=20 timing light before the first flight. I did, and I checked it = again at the=20 annual condition inspection, but I'm not sure everyone does. = Standing so=20 close to the moving propeller isn't for everyone.

Good Luck,

Dennis

Legacy, 140 hours, flying to Alaska in two = weeks!
