Lots! Retract tubes, trim tubes (especially if not worn), cowl side channels (I'm looking for a top right one if you have one...), the list can probably go on and on. If electric gear/flaps, the actuators (and gears inside them).

I can relate!

Question for A&Ps - valid part substitution?
Nico1 replied to Nico1's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I did get a quote from lasar... which led me to look into the possibility of a salvaged part as an alternative -
Doing my research, looks like I might need to replace a segment of the trim tube (740101-000), the segment that runs under the battery selves in the tail. Have you ever replaced it with the later part 740192-501? Reading the J parts manual I found this note: In 740000-533 assembly, 915026-007, -009, -021 & 740101-000 are acceptable alternates for 740192-003, -005, -007 & -501. This implies that 740192-501 is an acceptable substitute for 740101-000. Was curious if I made a "brilliant" discovery or, in your experience, is this a common parts substitute? (or neither!)

If they were using AS6 on fittings, you want to make sure to push all the old grease out. Since you don't know, probably best to try doing that regardless!

The script sounds AI written

Still available if anyone is interested!

Thanks! does it need lubing or adjusting? I did not find any reference on servicing it in the Service Manual
-
Opened up panels for the 100 hr lube AD and noticed that it looks like the floor gear down indicator is chafing against the floor. Does that need lubrication and/or adjusting (how to adjust?)?

For the door strap, find a nice leather belt at goodwill. Will work and look nice!

It comes off easily with Buddah Belly, just let it soak a little. Any degreaser probably works well too.

Possible Oil leak on a new engine? M20E 1975
Nico1 replied to ighazali's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Check this. Follow oil return lines Under the cylinders, pita to reach. -
Also, make sure steering horn is packed with grease, that helps a lot.

Risk of hitting elevator?

Still have it, let me know!

People that have an Aspen and GFC500 will have either a G5 or a GI275 to control the AP. So you can either install a G5/275 that will control the AP and keep the aspen. Or get rid of the Aspen and go for 2x G5 or 275s.

A question related to the OP: How long can you 'store' a new tube? Have had one on the shelf for over 3 years...

Reduced price ($900) OBO. Shop said yellow tag is still valid and in use for overhaul.

If you need/want the OEM 40:1 Gear Set
Nico1 replied to Matthew P's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Any news on the gears? -
I like the iPod on the panel!
-
Thanks for all the resources and descriptions! (also thanks for the google doc someone posted in another post -- couldn't find it now but have it downloaded) To coordinate a time with my A&P to do this, have an estimate for how long does the whole process of removing and replacing the wire take (already have new steel wire)?

37 hours labor for nose pucks is crazy. Even completely removing and rebuilding NLG won’t even get you close to that.

Al Mooney numbered all his planes, from the M1 up to (don't recall what the last one was). The mooney mite was the M18 for example. I recommend reading his biography, interesting history: The Al Mooney Story: They All Fly Through the Same Air
