Looks like the safety gear up switch and it needs to be there.

Thanks you for the pirep.

It was less than $1700 installed including the windshield. I got the same thickness and went with the clear one which still has a little gray color in it. Don't think he had to modify any parts to do it.

I had mine replaced by JD in Smithville, TX. I had the 201 SWTA mod on my 1967 M20F. He did a great job by the way.

I sent Jan an email yesterday asking the same questions and am waiting on a reply. I could not find that information anywhere on the web.

Carl Sharon owner of Houston Tank Specialties at Eagle Lake TX (KELA) does Tank repairs, Maintenance and Annuals on Vintage Mooneys. He did a tank strip and reseal and my last annual. Very highly recommend him.

10 minutes after posting this I actually got a call from Lasar. Did one of you give them a nudge? If so thank you!

I got Lasar to answer the phone about a month ago to get a pilot 8 hole panel and they told me they were on order. Of course they do not show the panels on the parts section of the website. They did respond on a chat a few weeks ago and said Dan would send me a diagram of the panel but I never received it. Now They don't reply to email, chat or answer any phones. Are they still in business?

I just called the Aloft motel where I made my reservation and it had not been cancelled even though the motel knew the summit was cancelled. I cancelled mine today with no penalty for not checking in tomorrow.

Lasar now has the new step springs in stock so I ordered one. Anyone have any instructions how to install them or it is just easy to slide it in and out? Thank You, Walt

I called Bob and his idea worked! Put a feeler gauge and found the mounting screw that was blocking the lower left from sliding out. Slightly pried the radio to the right and out it came. Both of the lower screws got left out so that will not happen again. I have a rack above and below the 430W so I should be fine. The Garmin 430W radio has an opening on both sides on the bottom which can get caught on the rack mounting screws. They should have designed the rack to have the mounting holes an inch higher. Thank you Bob!!!

When I took out the tray under it I can see the lug but it does not seem to be keeping it from sliding out. It is definitely blocked by something but don't think it is the lug. I will try different positions of the lug on Tuesday when I go back. Thank you for the information. Walt

I am having difficulty sliding mu Garmin 430W out of the tray. I removed the lower and upper tray to make sure they were not pressing against it but it wont come out. It does comes out about 1/2" by unscrewing it then stops. Tried moving it back and forth with no luck. Any suggestions?

Eagle Lake, TX Airport. KELA. About 45 miles west of Houston.

Tankman (Carl Sharon) completely stripped and resealed both of my tanks for my 67F 2 years ago and did a great job. The last person that did work on my tanks used the wrong sealant, installed the incorrect drain plugs and had vents sealed up. Carl identified the previous problems and completed the job keeping me updated on his progress until it was complete. No leaks so far. Walt
