They are not easy to get on, and I felt like I was going to break them.. Eventually they snapped on, and work great. Those cutouts should be from the factory, right? How close are you talking here?

Whoever did your install definitely didn't do the trim system good enough. There are 2 pins with cotter keys on each end of the trim shaft. You have to remove all of them, and slide the shaft out of the join so you can get the old gear out, and the poly bushing, new gear, and new trim bracket on to the trim shaft. If you don't mark the shaft to joint sections, that could be WAY out of whack now. I would not fly the plane again until you correct this. You could run in to a flight control issue... That is concerning if they did the work without doing something as simple as marking with a sharpie the original locations of that shaft. I also suggest you take the panels off by the tail section where the links are at and check the pitch servo cable mount. It's two aluminum pieces that sandwiches the end of the pitch tube and there are 3 mounting tabs of various lengths that also get bolted in between the aluminum pieces. This is what the cable attaches to. In my install, all of that was pretty close to the bulkhead, and so if you don't align things up properly, that mounting point could potentially hit the bulkhead, which could stop you from having pitch control. You can't cut corners here. I feel that there is some real danger present back there and if this wasn't done right, the consequences could be pretty severe....

Can't do it. I had to buy two..

Whoa! I have not had that scammer yet. What a jerk! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks! Will DM you.

dang, ok. thanks.

Are these still available? @Alan Fox

@Jerry Pressley Looking for a Right Inner gear door for my m20J. Any possibility one of those is sitting out there? Part number is 550060-002

Didn't fit properly?? How so? They say they come oversized, and you trim to fit. was that the biggest issue? Or was it something worse.

And now for my request lol.. Hey @Jerry PressleyAre there any interior pieces for a 79 J model available? Pretty much anything would be useful. Almost every screw hole in my panels are cracked slightly

Do you have a specific part number you're after? I may have one for you.

I have a vacuum gauge out of my J that I don't need anymore. Shoot me a PM if you want it.

Greetings. I have recently upgraded from a century 41 AP to the Garmin GFC500. I did this because my Attitude Indicator that controls it started failing on me one day and started tumbling. The bearings or something internal seems to have failed as the vacuum pump was functioning just fine. (The AI was the only thing being driven by the pump) I am not quite sure on the price, and while I have everything for it. I did have to cut the plugs to pull all the wiring out. There is about 10" of a pigtail from each plug though, so not difficult to get put back together IF you needed to. I am selling this for parts, as I know parts availability is scarce with these old AP's. I have everything in a box here at home now, so let me know what you need or if you want pics of something. Cheers! -Chris

I may still have mine from going to led's.. I don't have the strobes anymore though.

I replaced the exhaust in my 79 J. I too purchased from AWI. I had no issues with install, and the bends matched my original muffler. I used the original tailpipe as well, since it was still in good shape. Everything lined back up perfectly. I would say that you got a mis-aligned part off the jig. I did not opt for the spiked looking muffler, just the matching ribbed one.
