B&C Specialty Products is pleased to announce that we have received FAA STC/PMA approval for installation of the BC410 Standby Alternator and matching regulator on all Bonanzas from the J35 (1958 model year) forward. Click for eligible serial numbers.
Prices for the various components are as follows:
BC410 Alternator and Regulator with STC (specify 14v or 28v)
BC410 Alternator and Regulator with STC (specify 14v or
28v)
$2000.00
Installation Kit (specify 14v or 28v)
$435.00
New Electroluminescent Panel, 5.25” x 17.00”(1984 – Present)
$495.00 exchange
New Electroluminescent Panel, 2.00” x 11.00”(1972 – 1983)
$495.00 exchange
Air Conditioning Bracket Modification (if so equipped)
$150.00
Aircraft equipped with electroluminescent switch panels will need to have the nomenclature on the lower left hand "EL" panel changed during installation to comply with the FAR's. We have arranged with the OEM supplier of these panels to make a special production run, with correct nomenclature for our system. For 1984 and newer aircraft, new 5.25" x 17.00" "EL" panels are available for $366.00 with exchange. For 1972 to 1983 aircraft, a new 2.00" x 11.00" "EL" panel is available for $495.00 with exchange.
Aircraft equipped with air conditioning require a compressor mounting bracket with a relief for alternator clearance. New aircraft or aircraft which have recently had this part replaced may already have the relief. If not, the bracket must be removed, stripped of all hardware and returned to B&C for modification at the above price, (this includes the STC).
Every effort will be made to process the above modification in a timely fashion, usually 48 hours.

Aircraft not Covered by STC
For individuals interested in obtaining one-time field approvals on aircraft not yet covered by the STC, a general wiring diagram has been provided to assist in these efforts. We will continue to work on STC's for other models. A tremendous amount of time, money and paperwork is required to obtain these STC's. Please, let us know if you are interested in the standby alternator system for your aircraft and feel free to call if you have questions.
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
for
B & C Specialty Products Model BC410 & BC425 Alternators
The B&C Model alternator requires no recurrent maintenance during its service life of 1700 Hours. It is recommended that at 1700 hours or less time in service or during engine overhaul the alternator be returned to B&C Specialty Products for factory overhaul.
At each Annual or 100 hour inspection required by the FAA, check the alternator externally for security of mounting and wiring and perform the before takeoff test described under the "Normal Procedures" section of the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement;. Alternately, the Final Test described in the installation drawing may be used for this test.
Failure due to broken wires or damaged connectors may be corrected in the field using repair procedures complying with the latest revision of AC43.13-xx. All other repairs are by replacement only.
IF THESE UNITS ARE NOT BEING INSTALLED UNDER AN STC, THEY MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A ONE TIME FIELD APPROVAL FOR USE ON A TYPE CERTIFICATED AIRCRAFT.
