Hello Robl and all who contributed to my request.
I have purchased a full replacement ignition kit which includes two Slick 6364 Magneto's and which are a direct replacement for the old 664s. These are PMA parts and there is an STC which affairms the suitability of the 6364 in place of the ,664, with the instructions for fitting.,( In fact it is a specific replacement as can be seen from the part numbering system)
I am in USA right now where I have purchased these parts.
My aircraft is based in France where it is maintained by a qualified engineer and signed off by a French CAMO. I trust my engineer absolutely, but I am aware that he spent his whole life in commercial aviation. He thinks big plane when it comes to paperwork and is frightening me to death with CAA, EASA Forms 32 and the rest of it. All of these things sing money for bureaucracy.
From others I have spoken to, including on this forum, it would seem that only a log book entry is required. My French built ,172h is privately operated.
It was suggested I contact aerofurb for an opinion, which I have failed to do because I do not know how to make the contact.
If aerofurb or anybody can help me with a persuasive argument for my engineer, I would really appreciate it.
As a footnote I would like to tell you that Champion/Slick have been excellent in support of my questions but they cannot help with. EASAland issues.
