P-LEAD 48" SLICK STYLE

P-leads for all aircraft using a Slick or Bendix Style Magnetos. This includes nearly all piston aircraft such as: Cessna, Piper, Grumman, Mooney, as well as many homebuilt and experimental aircraft.

The P-lead is the wire that goes from the mag switch to the magneto. It attaches to the magneto coil's primary windings and is used to ground out the magneto (turn it off). Operational safety is dependant on the condition of the cable and the ability to "ground-out" the magneto. As a general rule cables should be replaced when ever wear is apparent. Broken ground leads should not be permitted.

A drop in rpm is expected when one magneto of the two mags is shut off. Should the propeller be moved by hand and a functional "hot" magneto exists, the engine may fire causing injury. If there is no drop in rpm the owner should call a mechanic immediately.

Bogert is using 14gauge MS27500 wire with aviation approved terminals. The shrink tube has an adhesive inside the sleeve to improve durability and reduce the possibility of corrosion. Cables are ready to install.
