This statement is just a bit open-ended. Sounds like a catch-all statement allowing the FAA to hold a mechanic accountable for anything and everything.

If the corrosion is that extensive that you’re talking about replacing the entire main spar, I think you’re money ahead to replace the whole wing. Wing replacement is the ‘ball park cost’ you’re looking for.

Or, it might look like this pic… Or, you could have an issue on the top end. It’s a round terminal crimped to the Bowden cable wire. If you take the trim cover off, all the tinnerman nuts in the nose wheel well will fall off. Get some speed tape and tape them down before removing the screws.

Words of wisdom.

I’m not sure, but that throttle cable doesn’t look factory. I could be wrong. Regardless, as N201MKTurbos suggests, you could try spraying some silicone spray, or maybe some LPS2 in the to see it if the button can be freed up. If that doesn’t work, McFarlane is still your best bet. They can provide you with the paperwork to fulfill the requirements of an owner produced part. It wasn’t that long ago that McFarlane had only the mixture cable PMA’d for vintage Mooney’s, and I did the paperwork for the throttle and prop governor to replace all three at the same time.

Welcome, BrettD… Best option? McFarlane is the go-to for replacement throttle/prop/mixture cables. I think they’re even PMA’d for Mooney now, as opposed to an owner produced part.

Likely, the mount bolt spacing is the same, but the pic below is the ‘63C tail tie down/skid plate version. The eyebolt isn’t listed in moodychief’s ‘61-‘64 model’s IPC (as far as I could tell). The ‘65-‘68 IPC lists the eyebolt as pn 350122-001, the ‘68-‘76 IPC (Manual 205) as pn 350122-003. Salvage yards are your best bet, if you want a legit Mooney part. Eyebolts from the hardware store can probably be made to work, at your (and your A&P/IA’s) discretion.

Engines and electrical. And develop the instinct that whenever you’re working on the airplane, look for chaffing. Since you’re an owner, you can take the time to address those issues. Come to terms with the limits of your mechanical abilities and when you need to, get some help.

Wow. After seeing your last post I’m in 100% agreement with those who recommend replacing the affected wing skins. Not sure what part of Texas you’re in… but if you’re disassembling the aircraft (either removing the tail or wing from the fuselage) for flatbed transport then that opens the potential repair locations. Don Maxwell has rig for transport with the tail section removed. Mooney will manufacture the wing skins, inquire with your favorite MSC for pricing. Hopefully, no ribs or stringers are damaged. Your MSC will also likely have recommendation(s) on who would be a good repair facility.

@Pinecone

What king of damage is to the lower wing skin/bottom of the wing?

Would .dxf files be a candidate for uploading?

I wouldn’t be afraid to schedule with Maxwell, who now does the Monroy STC, but I had scheduled with Paul Beck over a year ago. I didn’t have any unairworthy leaks, but the topcoat was showing up in my sump samples. I went to Weep No More because I have transportation support to MSP from relatives in the area. Paul had me scheduled for 27 Jan, but I delivered the airplane to him early on 8 Jan due to other travel commitments. And the airplane is done already! I am happy, and will be very happy as soon as I can get the airplane back home. Hopefully, mid Feb.

Did someone say “springs?” So close, and yet, so far away.
