Hello Keith, You wrote:



1) "at what age / hours  did you replace your  bushings  ?"



Not sure, maybe 300 hours and 6 years. I think that chronological age of the 

elastomeric material in engine vibration isolators is more relevant than 

engine hours when it comes to the material hardening (increased vibration 

felt) or sagging.



2) "is there a recommended time  for the replacement , plus is there a TCM 

bulletin on

this  ?"



Negative to both. TCM did not cover themselves with glory on this subject. 

Driving consideration for me was sagging of the engine so that the rear edge 

of the spinner was no longer parallel to the front of the engine cowling.

1) "I think I know why I delayed Changing the Vibration Isolators.... "



I understand and sympathize having spent more than a few hours replacing my 

IO-240 B9B engine vibration isolators.



2) "My Parts Manual only goes to page 11-7 (Jan. 1998), so I can't see the

parts."



a) That is puzzling. My PARTS CATALOG, MODEL IO-240-A, B; Form X30623A is 

dated July 1996 (which is an earlier date than 1998).



b) What is the Form number of your Parts Catalog?



c) My catalog includes Chapters 12, Crankcase and Chapter 13, Engine Drive 

Train.



d) Can you check your Catalog page vi for the Chapter Index listing to see 

if your Catalog is also supposed to have Chapters 12 and 13?



e) If you will email me a mailing address I will make a copy of page 12-8 

that has FIGURE 12-4, ENGINE SHOCK MOUNT on it and mail it to you via USPS.



3) "I will let you know how it goes." and "I'll take a pic. Of it tomorrow 

and post it."



I would appreciate that.



4) "I have to remove the oil filter bracket to get the bottom right one 

out."



When I ordered my IO-240 B_B engine from TCM I created a new combination of 

accessories. The highest previous number of different accessory combinations 

was 8 so my engine became designated as an IO-240 B9B. I suggested that it 

should be designated as an IO-240 OCB, but that did not fly. I don't know if 

they ever built another exactly configured IO-240 B9B engine.



Anyway, one of the accessory modifications that I had ordered with my engine 

was an oil filter adapter that Diamond had developed for the Katana DA20-C1 

airplane. See here:



http://www.diamondaircraft.com/aircraft/da20/index.php



This Diamond developed oil filter adapter, P/N 655048 replaced the normal 

IO-240 B_B oil cooler adapter, P/N 653864 and it permitted the mounting of a 

Champion CH48108-1 or Tempest AA48108-2 (my preference) spin on oil filter 

right on the engine eliminating all hoses and brackets for a remote mounted 

spin on oil filter.



5) "Thank you again."



You are welcome -- happy to help anytime.

Hello OC,



I think I know why I delayed Changing the Vibration Isolators, The two

Electronic Ignition Coils are in the way of the top bolts and I have to

remove the oil filter bracket to get the bottom right one out. They are well

past due.



My Parts Manual only goes to page 11-7 (Jan. 1998), so I can't see the

parts.



I will let you know how it goes.



This morning while I was working on my KIS a friend flew his KIS with a

first time passenger to a local field for breakfast. Entering the pattern

back home the right door popped open. The glass broke out and the passenger

held the frame closed. He was lucky not to lose the hole door. He said it

flew a little weird but he got it down okay. I'll take a pic. Of it tomorrow

and post it.



Thank you again.



Tim

   Greetings fellow KIS aviators,

Does anyone knows who sales the door's plexiglas window for the KIS TR1?  As my friend Tim indicated, mine broke after an interesting flight yesterday.  Please let me know.  Many thanks for your help.
