Narrative:
During an annual inspection I found both engines had a stc of bracket induction air filters installed with an FAA form 337 not on record or addressed in the logbooks. I performed a conformity inspection and filed an FAA form 337. However, I was unable to obtain a pair of the proper filter elements from my supplier. I instructed the owner to obtain the elements before they expire at the end of the month.
