    Do you have any pictures you can share? If you’d rather not post them on the internet, would you PM them to look at to offer an opinion on a repair? Condolences to you for your loss. Thanks, David

    I messaged Alex and Richard for the late additions. Please confirm with them that you’ve been added. David

    The only pricing I’ve found is for LASAR’s PMA down lock block listed at $390 when they have stock. I purchased an uplock block from LASAR several years ago and think it was about the same as the down lock. David

    Hi Vorlon1, No where that I know of to purchase in kit form. Aircraft Spruce has a good website and you can easily order the few items online in their hardware section.

    Hi danad, progress is quite slow right now. Personnel issues at the shop have it on hold for a bit. I hope to see progress next month when they have an experienced mold maker back on staff. Thanks, David

    Since I sold my Mooney last year, I no longer have an IPC handy to look up the part numbers. David

    Hi Alex, Hardware was sourced by the owners if they wanted to replace it. Thanks, David

    Just want to bump this up in case someone missed the quote / lead time and that we’d like to finalize the order by midnight Friday. Please let Alex know that you confirm your order. David

    Hello to the group, I received the quote for the parts. Like the last batch of parts made, these will be anodized black. Lead time is 6 weeks from the time we place the order. here’s the quote: 30 or more Uplock - $233.37 each 40 or more Uplock- $205.36 each 30 or more Downlock- $265.86 each 40 or more Downlock- $223.90 each Shipping for a set is estimated at $25. That covers boxing and shipping costs. Thank you, David

    I haven’t heard from my shop yet but will check in with them tomorrow. I will update on the quantities to get a more accurate quote. Thank you, David

    Hi David, You might message Hammdo as I put a SureFly on the left mag position before delivering the airplane to him. He has a left shower of sparks mag on the shelf. It’s worth asking. Thanks, David

    Just to update the group. I am waiting on a quote from my machine shop. Definitely having a larger order will reduce the price. As soon as I get the quote, I’ll post it here for everyone to see. There is no markup by me so you’ll get the price given to me by the shop. As to timeframe, I’ll try to get a good estimate of how long to complete. I know the shop is very busy but they usually knock out parts for me quicker than promised. Thank you, David

    Hi Alex, Yes, I have asked to quote for the down lock and up lock blocks separately. We did this on the first run. At some point we’ll need to finalize the order count. If it works for you, once we have the order total, would you be the point person to collect the payment per each order? I’ll handle the parts on my end and when they’re done, ship them to each person. We’ll need to collect each persons contact info and what address to ship to when the parts are complete. Contact me at sabremech at gmail.com. I’ll get you my phone number so we can communicate as needed. Thank you, David

    Igor_U, I don’t know much about the turbo installation. I suspect it could help with cooling the turbo, but is not much help on non turbo aircraft in my opinion.

    Here’s what I did on my old C. No need to drill another hole as this gets rid of the dissimilar metals and has the cap flush with the panel. Not that difficult to do. David

    Hi Alex, I’ll check with my shop to see what a minimum run would be. Will this be just for downlocks or both down and up locks? David

    Hi Jamesm, I tried vents or louvers in both of the cheek cowls along with just in front of the nose gear in the center of the bottom cowling with little effect. Seems most of the air wants to be pulled out by the cowl flaps as Mooney designed it to. David
  19. Sabremech
    I can attest to the fact that it won’t help. I installed an exit duct in the cheek panels of one of the cowlings I modified and it made no noticeable difference in CHT’s. David

    Hi Raptor, I’m willing to do my part to get another batch run. The more orders the better in regards to pricing. David

    That cowling appears to be installed incorrectly. That U-channel with the cam loc should be on the inside of the firewall flange. That camloc will then go through the firewall flange into the u-channel along with the screw on the upper cowling.

    I’ve been to Oshkosh many years and decided to give SnF a try several years ago. I found SnF an Osh lite and was disappointed in that I was through all of the exhibitors and the airplanes in a day. I know many will enjoy it but for me, it’s not worth the cost to travel and see all I want to see in a day. I always feel that it takes me at least 5 days to see all that I want at Oshkosh. Just my .02. David

    That’s where we’re headed if you believe the science!
  24. Sabremech
    Whatever! Your idea of an expert might not be someone else’s and you automatically dismiss them because you’re always right. Have a great day.

    Hi Byron, I had a fair amount of respect for you but now after your rant, not so much.
