One of my friends at the airport one an alternator from plane power. They ended up giving me the certificate for the conversion kit. Plain power sent me an alternator for my 1964 m20e. What part numbers did you install and could you send me pictures of your install? Thanks

my long term project is moving along nicely. was time to fill the tanks and test the electric pump. throw the switch and just a clunk. it worked 5 yrs ago before my project started. I quickly talked to some friends and checked the forum. Aero Motors in wisconsin is the place. I woke up crazy early this morning removed the pump and drove over 2 hrs to Aero Motors. Was definitely worth the trip. I turned over my tired hunk of junk and was given a pump that looked like new with all their updates. They knew I was the Curious inquisitive type with a lot of questions so they took me through the shop and showed me the insides of a pump and their improvements. Everything except one particular seal is made in-house in the shop. They even wind their own armatures! I'm the type that likes to shop made in USA. I was thoroughly impressed. my pump happen to be $550 for the exchange. My project continues forward with a minimal delay, will be installing the pump tomorrow.

Looks great, Thanks

Hi, almost have the flight controls rigged. getting ready to work on firewall fwd. I have a 64 m20e with the doghouse. I need the front baffle baffle seal. It must be original. It is stapled in it. From reading it needs to be stiffer than conventional al baffle seals. Any good source? The felt seals on the front and back of the engine are pretty rough too. Any source for them? Thanks Glenn

thank you, they look great. just a question do they attach on the gear well side or in board? have a pic with them installed? thanks Glenn

Is there a preferred fabric? Something airproof to prevent carbon monoxide or are we just keeping dirt and mice out? Thanks Glenn

Hi, I have a niece that is studying fashion and just bought a sewing machine. She is itching to use it. It occurred to me she could make me some rat socks as well as the tube boot on top of the nose gear well in the cockpit. does anyone have a pattern for these that they could share. there was nothing left of them at the beginning of my restoration to copy. Thanks Glenn

I didnt want to mention heat gun, but that's exactly what I used. but my tanks were vented a very long time and there was to danger of fire or explosion. heat gun was definitely helpful along with phenolic and plastic scrapers. thin putty knives.

Thanks for your Ebay link. I offered $40 and the deal was made. thanks Glenn

I considered it, but there is so much work I still need to do to complete my renovation. I figured I would have someone else make it to save me some time

Good morning gentleman, I am missing one cover. it slides into place and covers the MLG collar and keeper bolt for the shock disc assembly. hoping someone has a spare one or a part number. Thanks Glenn

Thanks for the input. Somewhere I have seen it read that you could modify the existing part by machining the corners off of this bracket 510046. My bracket has been changed or modified To the proper status. So many new parts and and adjustments. Not much room for all that monkey motion. Gear is in and clearances good now. New shock disks installed. She will be sitting on her gear in a week or two. First time in 4 yrs. Thanks Glenn

Most likely the truss and link bushing replacement.

Well I pretty much have it resolved, however now I have interference elsewhere. The truss pivot bolt head is hitting. Parts manual calls for an6H21a Service bulletin m20-212 replaces there bolts with NAS1306 bolts,these have a considerably thinner head but the length called out for in the sb is too short. I want to replace bolt A.. remove an6h-17a install nas1306-21h. Will be too short. My goal is to replace an6h21a bolt with an Nas equivalent but with a thinner head. Specs say nas1306-26h is the one to use for my 1964 m20e sn 311. Any one run into this bolt interfering. This is not the an26-17 with the thin castle nut that hits. I have this resolved. Thx Glenn

Hi, I'm a bit frustrated after renovating my landing gear and rebushing the truss and the link. I installed the right main landing gear with the trust and the link attached to the main landing gear. The truss is about a half an inch away from being bolted to the spa. I know that this area can accept a thin Shim as well as shimming the landing gear fore and aft movement. But this will definitely not close the half inch Gap. What am I doing wrong? The truss and the link we're rebushed using recommended clearances of .002" by Dan at Lasar. I was going to work on the left main landing gear tomorrow to see if I have the same problem there. Any recommendations? Is the clearance on the truss and Link too tight? Is slop required in order to attach the Truss to The Spar? Thanks Glenn 1964 m20e Trying to finish up the aft stub spar and upper spar cap replacement

Mine was on the leading edge in that area. Removed it and plugged the holes with cherry rivets

I'm interested in purchasing the teflon seals also. I sent a msg a few days ago. Thanks Glenn

Lots of people are doing this repair, just need the alloy number. I will reach out to the people recommended thanks

Yes

Maybe I need to clarify the bushing hole in the landing gear Parts is oversized. Hoping to find the correct bearing alloy

Bushing/bearing hole is oversized.

Need to replace the bushings on my truss and link. They are worn and will have to go oversize. Anyone know what the alloy number is. I have heard it is bronze aluminum nickel. The bushings that came out are silver. Just not sure of the alloy number so I can have my machine shop ream out the parts and make custom bushings. Thanks Glenn 64 m20e. SN 311

It doesnt mention the orientation of the collar

Hi, I replaced the shock disks on my nose gear and the collar that secures the stack has a bevel that was on top facing fwd. Now I am doing the main landing gear disks and on one gear the collar had the bevel facing down and aft. The other gear had the bevel facing up. What is the correct orientation of the collar bevel? Thanks Glenn 64 m20e. SN 311

Wow thanks for all the detailed information in the replies.
