mag overhaul and cowl flap motor overhaul

[rmorris]

Part 1:
OK, left mag check big fail on rear engine, so pulled both mags yesterday. Plane is in Van Nuys, so local a&p recommended Aero Accessories of Van Nuys for overhaul. Thought I would ping group to see if they have other recommendations and/or idea of cost for overhauling the Bendix mags on my TSIO-360

Part 2:
Rear cowl flaps stopped working, cracked open about 2 inches...so flyable that way, but not desireable....a&p tapped the motor lightly with a hammer and they started working for a flight, he says it is likely a worn brush. But now back to same. I guess I could crawl out mid-flight and tap the casing with a hammer, but thinking it is time to pull it off. Rather than the expensive replacement, thought I would chek to see if others have used any shops to IRAN or overhaul theirs....and again, expected costs.


Just replaced both mains with FC3, overhauled AI, and had to replace front spinner and bulkhead...all within last month...so trying to find best reduced cost (but still safe) options for these new issues....plus annual coming up
