It is the V clamp with Rivets:
-
The V clamp is still in the original unopened bag and I'll take better pictures tomorrow morning and post them.
-
I have a new Bravo Turbo V clamp as well as a used one that's in good shape with no apparent cracks. How much are they worth? PN NH1009399-10

I had similar wants for my 231. I have a KFC 200 with an Aspen Max but currently have KI 525a driving it. The only option I found was to install Aspens ACU 100 and replace the KI525a with either a Garmin G5 or GI 275 then remove the vacuum system, Then instal Aspen's APS4 to use with the Aspen for a altitude pre-select

Billy if you do decide to add the MFD 1000 max can you update us on the cost including about to instal it? I have a PFD pro max and have considered it or adding a Garmin GI 271 instead for future use with a G3X or G500txi Thanks

I had my Bravo tanks resealed at Edison's. He was on time and close to his original budget. The two fuel drains were corroded so they had to be replaced which added extra costs but it was acceptable. When the tank access covers were removed the bare head of the screws would now show. Jimmy Garrison suggested using Don and Paul Maxwell to paint the top of the wings and they did excellent work which made the wings look better than new

Scott, personally I like having as much information in front of me especially when flying IFR so I've been planing on installing either the G500Txi or G3X 10" depending on my autopilot future decisions. Currently I have an Aspen pro 1000 max and even though I like the Aspen it's hard on the eyes looking for details and so I use the GTN 750 and an Area 760 for additional information. I've self imposed a budget so further avionic plans are curtailed until the coffers are back to spending mode. Nice panel Lee, Did you have to keep the ASI and the Altitude Indicator to have the 7" G3X with the G5 installed? -
Just replaced mine as well as installed a new alternator. The couplings are expensive and hard to find but I was lucky to find one at Aircraft Spruce. I'd suggest to get the alternator replaced or rebuilt when you have it off.

I've noticed that the oil takes at least a couple days to drain back with my 231 and it was similar on my J. So if the oil stays up in the engine and doesn't make it back to the sump area does the engine actually have enough oil for proper lubrication when you're climbing to altitude or even when cruising? I'm making the assumption that the oil pick up is close to the location of the dipstick.

Looking for 3 to 6 overhauled or overhaul-able Continental TSIO 360 cylinders complete, for a 231. Steve sdawson 630 @ gmail . com

I sold my Bravo through Jimmy and would sell or buy my next through him too. He surrounds himself closely with great support like Don and Paul Maxwell and has his own very competent staff Lynn and Tamara. Best way to contact Jimmy is definitely through email or text.

Who designed the Mooney M30, the 301? I think that was am impressive aircraft design, especially at that time of aircraft development.

Hi Lance
II just bought a 1980 M20K with the Merlyn waste gate and an intercooler. The engine has 1400 hours and has had three cylinders overhauled over the last 12 years. Number 5 was just done 70 hours ago. There's an oil leak that is coming from one or possibly both of the two through bolts connecting numbers 4 and 5 cylinder. The shop that I'm using has found that whoever rebuilt or installed the overhauled cylinder before had but "O" rings on the face between the cylinder and the case in what I surmise is an attempt to stop this oil leak. So I have a couple questions for you if you wouldn't mind. One, have you ever seen this before and is it a common fix and two, do you know if it's possible or is it standard practice to pull the through bolts out to replace the two inner "O" rings that go on the grooves on these bolts? I should note that the some of the other O rings on other parts of the engine are hard so it's possible that this maybe the source of the present oil leak. I have an account on Savvy if you it would be better to send the question there.
Thanks in advance Lance

Mooney TLS/Bravo - Why would I want one?
Steve Dawson replied to Red Leader's topic in Mooney Bravo Owners
I think this is a pretty good deal. It doesn't say whether the Garmin are WAAS but there's value there plus even if the engine needs to be rebuilt or overhauled at $80K the plane would still be worth more than the amount you'll have in it. Besides with a good pre-buy you may be able to run that engine for a while. This also depends on the condition of the remaining airframe. -
AUTOPILOTS, Garmin, STEC, King, etc.
Steve Dawson replied to DCarlton's topic in Mooney Safety & Accident Discussion
With all due respect, you have no idea what the cause of this accident was even if you were the investigating officer. That will take time with professionals investigating this. There's many scenarios so have some respect for the families involved. -
Yes, that's why I'm asking about adding them to regular wing tips. In the ad they mention they're available for other Mooneys as well as Bravo's. I should have been more descriptive. I'd like to increase the light in front of the plane. Secondly it would mean fabricating a plate inside the lens that would hold both this light as well as the combination strobe/nav lights. So how much do these lights illuminate the area in front of the plane, what was needed for fabrication to install them and what paperwork was needed to have these approved.
-
Has anyone installed these lights or are the lights shown in the attached file belong to someone here? I'd like to know what's needed to install them on a K legally. I have the original strobe/nav lights now but would like to add something like this to be able to add some night time visibility. https://flywat.com/collections/mooney-products/products/mooney-led-wingtip-recogntion-light wingtip Mooney.pdf

I installed an Avidyne IFD 540 in my Bravo and really liked it. Very intuitive as well as the ability to load more information on the screen then the Garmin GTN 750. I liked that when flight planning the prospective route or procedure it was on the screen immediately enabling you to make the best decision for your route. I had the gtn 750 in my J and liked it but can say that they're definitely different but I don't think that one is better than the other.
