Prop Heat Wire Harness Source

[iamtheari]

I noticed a broken wire poking out from the spinner on our 310. I pulled both spinners and found that one prop has 3 good wire harnesses, probably those that were replaced as part of the pre buy. The other prop has 3 of a different style from the first one, and two of the three are broken (one has one broken wire and the other has all 3). These are 3-wire harnesses from the spinner bulkhead to the base of the blade and have ring terminals.

Does anyone know a good source for these harnesses? I’d rather deal with this at home (under proper adult/A&P supervision, of course) if I can get the parts.

There are a number of options depending on what route you want to take: OEM new, used, PMA. And most references require changing all 3 harnesses. If I recall the Cessna deice harnesses were Goodrich brand and used across a number of different models but dont hold me to that.

Any idea who sells new deice harnesses, or are they only available through the aviation mafia?

Depends on which families you consider in the mafia.

First need to determine which P/Ns you need. I believe there are several PMA suppliers which can be found through a P/N internet search. If the number crosses to a RAPCO number then I'm sure Spruce handles those harnesses. Its been a while since I dealt with deice stuff.

The P/N is stamped on the harness. Find the P/N on the harness and look a supplier up online.
