I have had to replace my Bendix long cover mags with short cover exchange units.
I have read that this has the P-lead capacitor built in and a ring connector attaches the inner P-lead to this. The firewall mounted capacitor needs to be removed.
Does anyone know where to attach the P- lead shield at the magneto?

Kevin,
Your question brought to mind this picture I have in my files. Is this what you’re looking for? See note regarding shielded wire at bottom of picture.

Re: Installing Bendix SC Magnetos
Thanks Gary,
The Short cover magneto is the one where the capacitor is built into the cover, and the P-lead connects onto its threaded stud. I am looking at where the outer shielding connects? My existing capacitor is fitted onto the firewall and the shielding attaches to the capacitor fixing screw.
So I am thinking that I will connect the shielding to the screw that the capacitor on your drawing attaches to.
I will also ask the mag shop today.

I have heard from the magneto shop and they advise attaching the shield to one of the four cover screws.
