M20E Avionics Upgrade Project
spleecho replied to spleecho's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Engine is complete, now hooking up sensors to it. Instrument panel is cut and coming in on Tuesday. Guy that cut it for me was beyond cheap and extremely easy to work with. Once I confirm fit I’ll share contact info if you guys need help with your panel. -
Yes that’s the lights we decided to go with. Most likely the 600 series tho but we can’t sink another 1k with all the other projects we doing just need a cheap replacement to buy me time
-
PM sent thanks
-
Yeah and they pricing them line brand new hot off the production line
-
Should be fine as long as it worked before. My power pack died when I did skyBeacon so I didn’t bother and just needing temporary replacement. How much you asking? Thanks
-
Yeah! That’s the exact same thing I had before and right by the inspection panel

Pulled out so much old wire! To say scat tubing needed replacement is an understatement, Mose nose is full of it. Spent hours cleaning the engine and firewall, was awful, years of grime. He put in the avionics as mock up just to show me the light at the end of the tunnel. Wiring harness for transponder is done and was extremely easy, especially with Garmin’s altitude encoder. Hope audio panel goes the same way. Here’s some pics. Anybody got advice on how to paint the aluminum instrument panel? I want to do flat black. -

I hired a voice actor to do the audio files for the MVP-50P voice annunciator files. You may download and use it for your own just chop the pieces you need. Not for re-sale. Zipped folder is already chopped down to 8-bit WAV files, I think you can go up as much as 22KHz for better sound quality. Voice.mp3 Annunciator Files.zip -

It’s either spend twice the money on Mooney you want or save up and put in the work. Been saving up and planning since June last year and already got next two projects in planning stage for next year. If you plan and prepare it hurts less when you aren’t flying. -

Engine repairs and annual on it is complete. Installed Reiff cylinder and oil pre-heaters, 600 watt. They can start hooking up probes now. -

It's gold to remind you how much money you dumped into it! These are E.I. modules included with the MVP-50P that take analog inputs and send them to the engine data module. 3 boxes, 1 for Altitude, 1 for Manifold and 1 for Vacuum lo/hi. Will be mounted on a bracket behind the instrument panel, that's why they on their own custom mounting tray. -

The way we were doing the install is with rubber shock mounts which are straight thru the panel and then nut. That's the only option I saw using the shock mounts. -

It sure does look way better than the old WW1 switches I got now. Number one reason for me is music, we love listening to music and calms everybody down and my old input was horrible plus eliminates the intercom too. -

Test panel went in like a glove it was a perfect match. Still going to do Lexan one just to be 100% sure then 090 aluminum. Guys did the wiring loom last night they should start installs today and getting jugs back on. While we at it we decided to do my audio panel too, installing Garmin GMA 340. This isn’t neck deep, this is Mariana Trench deep now.
