Pump Rebuild?
Due to litigation against Parker Hannifin last year involving a fatal EAB
accident, the company withdrew the pumps from the
market.

Sound advice Bill – I would
humbly state that the same advice applies to the Bosch relays you are using.
As you may recall, last November my up relay welded itself shut, causing an
uncommanded gear retraction on the ground. The resulting prop strike
grounded my plane for 50 days at a distant airport. Insurance covered the
expense but I will be paying higher premiums for years to come. I replaced
the Bosch relays with the Lancair-recommended heavy duty automotive style
contactors. I still hold my breath every time I turn on the master switch.
