  1. Just use a rod end with 8/32 threads , two small spacers , and a large area washer for redundancy , also check the trrottle link also.. You got very lucky...anybody that knows this is on thier plane , and hasnt converted is just plain stupid... Now that you know , do it right...
  2. Couple of things to consider Chris, they may have replaced more than this one piece , And the Job isn't finished yet....
  3. I am mostly supervising an A&P on this one , I came in yesterday and it was on the floor....
  4. Removed it , about 30 hours in , no skin removed... Spar on floor..
  5. Although the theatre venue , was interesting , It was not geared for our use.... Everything else was well done
  6. The empty holes are huck bolts , that have been removed , We have found it easier to drill and break off the heads , as opposed to splitting the collars , once the heads are broken off , they punch out with ease... You will see on that we ground out , but it took forever , and it was surprisingly easy , to drill into the hucks... A64Pilot , great Idea for making a drilling jig , out of aluminum stock , we werte going to cut the the bottom of the L channel off to match drill it , but your Idea , is better , as far as the skin goes , when the holes for the web side are done , we will bolt it in , and match drill the skin... As far as parts go , the corroded piece appears to be a 3/4 inch piece of 7075T6 angle , so no parts downtime....
  7. Yes , also a large number of them are huck bolts , so will be easier than bucking , using HI-LOCS to replace them , Obviously the lowers rivet to the skin...
  8. I am no stranger to the sawzall , But this looks like it can be done without deskinning the wing , I have seen Mathissien deskin and replace sparcaps on Erics plane , with the wing on the plane , Jigged to the floor with wooden sawhorses... Very impressive...
  9. Taking on an interesting project .. Having to replace the left forward lower spar cap , It is a piece of aluminum angle , 3/4 x 3/4 by probably 1/8 thick , It is straight , and about 59 inches long .. We are going to replace it by deriveting it , removing two outboard ribs , and sliding it out (outboard and through an inspection panel ) , has anyone ever donr this job ? planning on about 60 hours work... Any advise or info would be great... No we are not sending it outside , we repair planes.... The corrosion is at the spot where the Steel splice plates are at the second lap joint , Seems to originate from the huck bolts....
  10. I will offer 200 for the KX155 -35 inop , and 200 for the KT76C , Regards either way Alan 856 419 5209
  11. I should be buying all 7 of the trusses !!
  12. It will mount all 3 servos , but only has the complete setup for the pitch , and Roll , The roll mounts in the wing , the other 2 mount in the emp... Yaw is a waste on a Mooney
  13. Same thing with the j-bar slider… just keep it clean…
  14. These are fresh garmin conversions , price is per unit , and will come with a tray , and backplate... Alan 856 419 5209
  15. These are new in plastic , these are impossible to get last batch took almost a year to get... 855.00 each First ones to call on the phone , get them.. Alan 856 419 5209
  16. I have 4 servos and the elusive BI805 valve , These all have service tags from 2007 on them , very good condition , Valve is 450 , Servos are 100 each Phone works best 856 419 5209
  17. The gear never fails , Not sure why the AD doesnt make you replace the locating pin.... Those DO fail..
  18. If anyone in the northeast needs this AD signed off , I will be available by appointment only you fly it in , I inspect , I create log entry , and I sign it off ... 200.00 You will need to bring the logbook... I am at KVAY 856 419 5209....
