New pads, new calipers 400 hrs ago

Have a 1966 m20e withe slight drip, calipers were done 400 hrs ago so thinking a pinched o-ring, anyone have the correct part number? Tia

Not at all, if you know guys that have it figured out by all means, let me know, if individuals on this fourm are familiar with the process or engineers that want to voulenteer for the cause, by all means, please let me know...the problem is there are a few people making statements like your without any solutions, so there's no point since you, and those like you aren't willing or able to contribute to the solution...so I'm not offender, just don't need armchair quarterback that aren't willing to get off their azz and suit up...you mentioned that you talked to people that got it figured out, the other mentioned he was an engineer, so, more than willing to accept your assistance.

So, I understand that you and MikeOH will be leading this effort then, since you have the engineering experience and Mike has the understanding of the process? So tell me the email address I need to send the CAD files of the gears to so that I don't slow down the process, you will still need to find a used gearset to have a metalurgy report done so you know the type of materials and type of heat treatment, unless you know an engineer that can call it out based on its use...on behalf of the 87 people that are standing by tho get a set of gears, I want to thank you and Mike for stepping up, please let me know the email address and once figured out, the price of the gears.

Yes, they did...

Not as of yet, first we have to get mooney to approve the run of parts, mooney sets their price then the MSCs are notified, then the MSCs set their price, then they tell the customers the price of the part and the prices vary by MSC....still waiting on if Mooney is going to authorize a run.

So, talking with the CEO, not Johnny, but will probably end up the same, I had the gears scanned into CAD by a professional company, unfortunately, no manufacturer will give me a quote because it's a part to be used in an aircraft.

Lol, I've asked the question but haven't gotten an answer...I will tell you this, I believe Mr. Pollack has been honest with me, Mooney is in a precarious position right now and he's looking into what can be done, if it can be done to support our request...I think some of the issues may be MSC related, so he's reaching out to them as well as we can't order directly from Mooney but have to go through the MSCs, so we have to get their buy-in as well....there is also a dual issue of the actuator motors, similar to the gear issue...if you have good gears but a bad motor, you can't get the motor, if you have bad gears but a good motor, you can't get the gears, same result...AOG...I asked if the current actuator on the newer mooneys would work on the older acft and if there would be any modifications necessary to install them, only response back is that they are 24v actuators, so they have not answered my initial question, I told them there is a workaround to get a 24v actuator to work on a 12v system, but they won't answer my question...so, Mr Pollack was to have a phone conversation with Don Maxwell, I'm waiting to hear back to see where the issue stands.

Perfect, thanks guys....

We have had a few condos, I'm waiting to hear back from our last one, he was going to talk to Don Maxwell

Found my fuel pump drain tube broke at the fitting, anyone have a part number for one? Thanks, Matt

I have (2) fuel sending units (5642354 and 5641991) that were purchased in Jan 2022, does anyone know what the resistance ratings are so that I can check to see if they are any good? Trying to determine if it is the fuel sending unit or the fuel gauges that are the problem, the fuel senders are currently reading 3.2-34 on one and 1.0-33 oms on the other

Leave her at home and take a girlfriend, they are more adventurous

They want to make sure your head is going to fit at some point ;)

Do you have a part number

Can anyone tell me the length of the magneto wires for the left side, aircraft isn't available and trying to get an estimate for a new harness for Surefly install? TIA matt

When is the last time the aircraft was actually weighed

Making progress, Spoke to the CEO yesterday, Mooney has agreed to make a run of parts, Mr. Pollack is checking on a few last things, then word will go out to the Mooney Service Centers and Lasar abought it as there will be a limited time period to place orders. All order requests will have to go through an MSC or Lasar..DO NOT call them yet. Still looking at pricing and lead times, hopefully I will hear back from Mr. Pollack later this week or the first part of next week. Will keep you all posted

Figures, I was waiting for Dynon AP for mooney, could never get a straight answer from Dynon, so went Garmin, I'm sure I'll like it but was really impressed with dynon and the price.

Wonder why only 30+ minute flights

Will put you on the list

Yep, they won't release but I found an area in the regs where they may have to turn them over if they no longer produce the part, has to be requested through the FAA, currently working that piece as well

If you can't get parts are they really alive?

Thanks, still waiting to hear back from Mr. Pollack, will text him tomorrow
