  1. “The manufacturer recommends keeping fuel in them on a regular basis .they don’t want them to sit dry for a long period of time it will cause dry rot…If by any chance this should happen the bladders can be reconditioned” … Griggs Aircraft.
  2. (1) same senders .. i have (2)EI senders. (2) yes Griggs calibrated my CGR30C. (3) forgot to ask if i should keep it a certain level of fuel... but ill keep it topped off. (4) ~$15,600 out the door. (5) 36.90 lbs (useful load 955.64).
  3. Griggs installed the B800 8-bag 64 gal system in my 1963 M20C. Went from 48 gal to 64gal ! Right at a week turn around. I’m very impressed with their skills . They did a great job!

  10. Mooney was out of stock, they gave me the part number to give to shaw... Maybe one could try to use the top of a PA-24 cap "new cam" ($85) with the bottom of the 2 inch Mooney cap... The top and bottom unscrew ...
  11. Good idea, I'll ask..... Michael, P/N: 55727 4-5 weeks Lead Time ARO... $295.00 each for quantity 2 ($590.00) Mini. Order 2 pieces. Terms - prepaid. Shipping not included. We do repair and/or service this cap. We do not sell the components separately.., sorry. Please advise – thank you. Best regards, John
  12. Contacted shaw plugs...fuel caps haven't been made since April 2014... Part # 55727 Standby for price and lead time.
  13. I tried those and they didn't work, they're to tall the door wouldn't close...
  14. The Q and A on aircraft spruce says the caps are 2-3/8 inch diameter....my current caps are 2 inch diameter. Are you sure these will fit?
  15. My 63 M20C needs new fuel caps (thermos type)... Anybody ever have any luck finding these new or used? Or what other options are there ( non-cert maybe ) ? Thanks
  16. It's an aviation paint shop and the surfaces are pristine. They prime then paint (PPG). Talking with a Mooney engineer, no Max weight...prime, paint and balance per M20J MM methods ( add or subtract weight as needed to balance aileron ) Engineer explained the M20J MM expanded the "How To" method and it applies to all models...refer to figure 27-17 and the Note below it in the M20J Service and Maintenance Manual...
  17. Was completely stripped...painted, then couldn't balance....then stripped again to balance. (Bare aluminum now).
  18. 1963 M20C at the paint shop...plane gets painted, time to balance ailerons and rudder...all are too heavy on trailing edge. 1963 MM has no info on adding or subtracting weight. Email to Mooney Tech support engineers explaining issue...after a few conversations Mooney Engineers say " use detailed instructions from the M20J MM, the methods apply to all models". Problem solved...Almost...now The paint shop wants to know max weight for ailerons and rudder...(for paint thickness) M20J MM states no max Weight, just paint and balance. Anyone ever hear of a max weight for the ailerons or rudder? Thanks
  19. Had the same problem with the NAV light switch...replaced NAV lights with LED's . Problem Solved.
