Hi:

I have a 1974 Grumman AA1B. Mounted on the firewall are two cylinders about one inch in diameter, one is about an inch in length with a � 20 post on either end and the alternator charging circuit passes through it. One of the posts is cross threaded and moves inside of the cylinder. The other is electrically between the solid state regulator and the alternator. It had a ground wire which looks like 16 gauge that is no longer attached running in to the bakelite on one end of the cylinder. Does anyone know what these devices are and where I can get replacements?

I have a 1776 AA1B, it sounds to me like you are talking about the starter and battery relays. Check here: http://www.fletchair.com/�check page 12 of there pdf catalog for a picture. I recommend Fletchair for all things Grumman you can reach them at 1 800 FA-WINGS.

============================

Gary:

As you have guess and from your description they are FEED-THROUGH Capacitors.
Their value is probably in the range of .001 to .01 uF at 20 VDC (WVDC) or
more. The voltage should be MORE than the system voltage by 50% and if you
find one at 100 VDC (WVDC) you can use that also ... Not critical.

I'm not understanding your description about the other item. That sounds
like an Electrolytic capacitor (Polarized ... + & - leads) that is hooked between
the 'S' terminal of the ACU and Ground. It's purpose is to filter out NOISE
& Spikes. The value of that can be anywhere from say 25,000 uF to 200,000 uF
and of course the voltage rating should be as described above.

Hope this helps.
