Any tips on how to get the cable from the top from the VR antenna down through the tail into the fuselage

I have a 1964 m20 C it did not come with working VOR or an antenna. I have a picture of one from an Aircraft salvage business does it look correct?

Thank you to everyone for responding to my problem. One thing it really helped out a lot was the graph that showed. The temp is filters bursting at a lower pressure than the champion which I use now and I was able to actually get a little larger capacity one to fit perfect. And by the way, the STC by Airwolf requires that you run the champion. Filter with the firewall mounted remote filter position. One person in the thread mentioned that he had bought a plane and I don’t know how long he flew it for but the hoses he found out later we’re backwards.. well guess what we did a test to find out where the flow was coming from by removing the filter and just turning over the engine and those lines were reversed still seems the filter is a little weak in that the oil pump only puts out 76 psi cold, but with the lines reversed, the spring loaded relief valve will not work Thanks again Mooney space great info helping out the community.

Thanks everybody your replies and information are greatly appreciated. This is a remote firewall mounted filter. The hoses have never been removed. The oil has been changed four times since I owned The aircraft the filter was installed by hand and then I added 3/4. Turn. Oil type shell 100 plus we just open the last two filters that were used in the last 50 hr of flight they were the same tempest filter no issues and no residue I have flown that plane in the morning with temperatures 30° cooler than the day that filter burst with no oil preheat.

Recently, I change my oil and use the tempest spin on oil filter as I start it up my 1964M 20 C I didn’t realize but the filter had split open and pumped all the oil out onto the ground, I called the manufacture, and they said it Was an underlying problem of the aircraft. I’ve change the oil four times since I’ve had the plane and never had an issue now I’m worried about cold starts. He also mentioned alaskin cold starts. I’m in Northern California and it was 70° + . I can’t imagine the problem but as it gets colder in the winter I’m looking at getting oil sump heater, can I get recommendations for the correct glue on external heater probably from aircraft spruce thank you

I have a 1964M 20 C great running machine but I’m tired of the weepy fuel tanks. I want bladders for the standard 52 gallon tanks. I’m on the West Coast. What are my best options, thanks

Thanks to everybody who replied on this thread very informative I did fix it I had to loop the cable around the pulley more than once works great

What’s a better air filter for my 1964 M 20 C

It’s a push pull both ends of cable go to step on one side and the other sides are connected to a wheel it’s very specific and the wheel doesn’t look like you can wind more then 1 revaluation

I had to replace tangled cables on my retractable step it seems to only project 6”, did I do that wrong?

Picture above

At least one of my tanks has a bad sender so I ordered rebuilt ones from air parts of Lockhaven in this picture It is the one further away which I just took out of the plane and then one they sent me looks a lot more stout but it’s different I have 2- 26 gallon wing tanks no bladders

So I’m looking for information on a particular prop and do I need an eddy current every year or visual every year I’m not clear on this my prop model is a HC – C2YK - IBF/F 7666A-2 Serial number CH25337

I purchased rebuilt fuel tank senders can anybody help me with info what access panel do I remove to get to the top of the sender And is it a wet position above the center will I have to reseal the access panel? Pictures would be great

Yesterday I couldn’t start my 1964M 20 C I’m thinking of preheating it on cold mornings what is the best most efficient way all comments welcome, thanks
