Where do you guys typically shop for avionics for your Rebels?

Also, I would like to put a vacuum pump on my O-320 and would be

in hearing where to get one? Should I go right to Lycoming?

I just bought all my stuff from Aircraft Spruce. Only problem I have had
so
far was the Mitchell Tach. Placed it in the dash and four days later the
glass was cracked across the face from the two lower screws. Can't
believe
I caused this from over tightening 6-32 screws. Will see what AS&S has to
say when I return it.

Steve: It is funny that happen to you, only because I had the exact same
scenario with the Mitchell tach I had bought for Rebel 652. I purchased
mine
through Aircraft Spruce also, but being Canadian and having paid an arm and
a leg for brokerage fees and shipping, I did not want to go through the
hassle of returning it. I carefully disassembled it and had a local glass
Co. cut me a new face ( from tempered glass) for the great expense of $5.00
with a one day turn around time. I would suggest you do the same as they
would probably indicate it was your fault anyway. LOL Bob J - rebels

How much trouble was it to seperate the front layering of the plastic?

only thing that really would piss me off is if I had any problems with the
tach itself under warranty. I haven't turned my engine over yet! Thanks
Robert and Murray for your responses.

Most Interesting - I installed a Mitchell Tachometer
in a Cessna 150 in mid November, and about a week
later the glass broke. We ordered a Mitchell
replacement glass and replaced it today. On the
first flight it broke again!

How long ago did you purchase yours, and what did
Aircraft Spruce have to say?
