Squat-method landing gear disc replacement

From what I remember the head of the bolt is milled down on the Mooney part. I’m thinking a regular AN will not fit. I think that what is on the main struts. -
Also if you have J baffles I could trace them to make copies. That is what we did to make new baffles for my F.

Both of you are in Georgia so anything I can do to help you would help me too. Let me know if you ever need a hand. I want to get a better idea of what is needed to do the swap. I wasn’t sure if the old cowl flap handle would have enough travel for the J cowl flaps. The J has the in trail middle stop that we don’t have.
-
It also looks to me like only the front end of the baffles where the air box is need to be changed. I made new baffles for my F cowl so I can bring the old part to see if it’s different.
-
Is your cowl flap handle from a J or can you use the old cable and knob?
-
If you do owner assist mx I would like to give you some help the next time you take off the cowl. I want to take pictures of the firewall. I’m in south Fayette county so it would be easy for me to get over to you.

I have the M20J cowl. I want to get a list of what the rest of the parts are. I think over time I should be able to get the factory parts off wrecked J’s. Sabermech’s cowl looks great and I would be interested. I don’t have details on it. He has other business interests and who knows when it will be available. The M20J swap was a stc so my thought is it may be easier to get one time approval. I would like to gather the parts needed to do a swap.
-
What are all the parts? I would like to move forward on the cowl swap.

I’m just over 6’4”/250#. I fit in a 67’ M20F just fine.

Static RPM for IO-360-A1A

EI tech support has been great. They pick up when you call and have been most helpful. I used the lower number resistor on the tach. It is a bit jumpy below 1000 rpm. I think I’m going to let it ride for a bit. I tried not to use the EI wire crimps if I didn’t have to. I did use them on the egt’s and don’t have any problem with that yet. I had the prop IRAN inspected and wasn’t sure if I was getting enough rpm static. I fly from a 2400’ strip and want to be sure I’m getting full power. Also did the 500 hr. Mag inspection. I will do a compression check and verify the timing -
M20c panel upgrade in progress

When I moved the audio panel up it hit the roll cage. I will end up putting a plate over the hole. -
M20c panel upgrade in progress
67 m20F chump replied to Capt Brad's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Here is what I’m doing. -
I’m wrapping up some major upgrades to my M20F. I added an EI 30 P+C. I have a couple issues with it. During full throttle run up I got 2550 RPM. Is that about normal? The other issue is high fuel pressure. Pressure is jumpy in the high 20’s and will hop up to 30.2 psi. I don’t think it’s adjustable. I know the pump is a new one from Tempest. The plane is new to me and I am wrapping up the upgrades and can’t wait to start flying it!
