yes, have more than one.

And newer receivers are probably much better than old. I would try removing that GS antenna completely and putting in th appropriate splitter and giving it a try. Don

I have one of those CI-193 antennas for you, one with a little tab that can be used to mount to a round tube. Another option is to use your existing VOR antenna with the correct splitter to go to your two nav receivers. Use the opportunity to replace at least some of the coax. The separate GS antenna provides a better GS signal, less line of sight shielding and less 'splitting. Aerodon

You might want to look for a 252 POH, my guess is the performance numbers will be closer to your configuration with the intercooler.

The 610M is the same thing but with a molex connector (likely what you need). But I have seen 'teardrop' and 'oval' shaped lenses. Aerodon

Not only that but the transmit and receive formats need to be th same for all devices. Not much of an issue with the SL30, but with a GPS, the receivers all need to be set to receive the same format and speed.

The thing with antennas is they all have different footprints - the M20K has a 4 hole mounting, but the RF connector is offset to the left to miss the stringer on the centreline. There are some nice combined VHF / GPS antennas on the market, and BAS often has good used ones. An older one is still likely to meet the specs for a GNS430.

There is a lot of vibration around alternators, and a lot of deterioration of wires forward of the firewall. It's not at all expensive to redo terminals, replace simple wires etc. Then look at your logbooks - when last was your alternator replaced or overhauled. ACU's are a little more difficult to troubleshoot. Use this as an opportunity to give your charging circuit an overhaul. Including the alternator mounting bushes etc. Your airplane is 'talking to you' - listen, get it fixed before you go fly. Aerodon https://pinpointharnessing.com make nice replacement wiring.

That happens when someone's account is hijacked. But you can usually see through it when you ask a few intelligent questions that only an aviator would know the answer to, or star seeing mismatches between names and payment addresses etc. I bought a high value item recently, and did my due diligence on him, his airplane, his email address his phone number etc. Then he gave me his wife's email (without the same last name) for a payment and I stated all over again. She had a good internet footprint with a fascinating family business. And eventually I found a direct link between the two. Kind of fun to do this type of research, trolling with a purpose. Aerodon

If you were to trace the outline and holes, I could draw it and CNC cut it. Even add an extra hole for a Lemo plug. Don

Spruce will terminate one or both ends if you tell them what you want. Don't be random, get a tape measure out and measure the route. There are other avionics shops that will do that too.nnLook for the shops that do a lot of work for the experimental market. The RG59 was in poor shape in my 1986 M20K, i can't imagine how bad it is in a 1960's or 70's plane. Aerodon

N228RM, Gunter and Tina Haug also landed in Reykjavik today. Mooney 252

So a 6 hour flight from Canada (CYFB) to E Cost of Greenland (KUS), quick fuel stop then a 3 hour flight to Iceland Reykjavik (BIRK). Not bad for a days flying. Don

Gunter and Tina are on th last few legs before getting home: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N228RM/history/20250804/1100Z/CYFB/BGKK They've posted lots of pictures and a route map on facebook. I had the pleasure of meeting them in Bellingham (KBLI) and taking them for lunch in Friday Harbor. Aerodon

When I see the shop putting my cowl on the floor, I ask them to go get me some fine sandpaper so I can do the same to the hood of their cars.... Ask for a screwdriver and tell them you are going to key their car just the same, but don't worry you have some sort of matching paint and will fix it just fine.... The local BMW dealer did the damage shown below to my wife's car - about the size of a quarter on the front hood. They fessed up, booked it into a reputable repair shop and fixed it, no questions asked, and apologized each time. I don't think the whole hood was painted, but I can't see the repair. Don
