A few months back John Cooper posted a message here regarding replacements

for the intermittent main gear duty relays and flap control relay which are

supplied with the [LC20 and possibly other] kits.  He recommended 2

specific Bosch part numbers

0 332 002 150 for the 60A inductive SPST hydraulic pump relays

0 332 204 150 for the 15A inductive flap relays

the number on the 15A unit has been changed to 0 332 209 150.



The contact information which he provided is outdated, so I thought I'd

provide the updates for those of you who might be looking to substitute

these items for the Lancair supplied parts.  If you don't remember why he

suggested the change, this is what he told me:



>>>

I used the Bosch relays to control the hydraulic power pack because:



1. They were smaller and lighter, and



2. They were more reliable. (They were specifically designed to handle

inductive loads, and are life-cycle rated.)

The manufacturer can be contacted at

Robert Bosch Corp

Automotive Group

2800 S. 25th Ave

Broadview, IL 60153

708-865-5200



The number that he gave for Twentieth Century Marketing is no longer in

service, (it was where he obtained data sheets from), but I do have a good

number for a distributor in PA who will sell these things directly.  They

are readily available from

Brandon Products

800-422-3274.



The 60A units are US$13.27 each, and the 15A ones are $2.57.
