I use eldarado chemical product it works well and saves a lot labour, i just did a complete strip and reseal on my neighbors c model it really is not that bad you just have to do some every day. I paint the sealant with the product close up the tank and come back the next day and clean out the loose stuff and repeat the process until it's all gone ,I make plastic scrapers from old windshield material so as not to scratch the inside of the tank ,

Converting from generator to alternator
Mooneymechanic replied to rockydoc's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I have a complete low time, under 100hr 50 amp conversion kit if you need one. -
I have used chuck ney in Tulsa and was happy with the price and quallity of components and have some experience with signature engines in Ohio and own some engines done by them on my twin i have met a few commercial operators who will not use anyone else but them , they would be my first choice with chuck ney a close second . Chuck has a good case mod with oil squirters to protect and lube the cam for the io360 , One things for sure the engine I got done at chucks once dialed in was fastest one I ever had in a pre j mooney it would do a consistant 175mph in my old f model and if I was really careful to keep any yaw out would hit 180 and could out climb the book rates by a bunch .

mooney m20f restoration
Mooneymechanic replied to Mooneymechanic's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I have actually put 5 back in the air that would otherwise have been parted out three were complete restorations two were " minor. " just little prop strike deals that only needed engines props and some belly work, Unfortunately the last one was not so successful as I got it finished and had to many naysayers complaining it had a bad damage history so I could not give it away for less than the avionics alone, I bought it with a low time engine and in need of some repairs , so I put a new style prop on got it repainted and new leather interior fixed about 100 squawks and got to fly it a while Anyway I am in the process of parting it out now so I can get some flying done in my 310 The good news is that has already put two more back in the air from it's donations and will probably keep a few more flying over the next few years. -

mooney m20f restoration
Mooneymechanic replied to Mooneymechanic's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
bought the plane because i was looking for something faster than my cheroke and did not want to see this one scrapped, it had a low time engine that was overhauled in quebec and one of the rod nuts came off and the rod snapped. i have since done two more complete mooney restorations and some partial ones so acumulated about 6000 hrs of experience on restoring and working on them here is an e model i did right after that one , had the whole family involved in various parts of it , we all had fun and got to spend time together too -
mooney m20f restoration

thought some might like to see a log of my m20f restoration in case anyone else was contemplating fixing one that they a presently flying or repaining a gear up on. i bought this aircraft from the insurance company for $17000 as is where is and restored it over a period of two years with the help of my wife and way to much spent , overall i think it took me around 2000hrs labour to do which i know is just not cost effective but i did not do it to save money i did it to save a good airplane from going to the scrap heap and for the experiance toward my a&p it has been back in the air now for 10 yrs now . it had an engine faliure up in ontario and the pilot had a choice of rocks trees or water , he elected to land gear and flaps up paralell to the shore , aparently he did a great job as no damage from the landing other than the main gear doors were peeled back by the water. all four occupants waded to shore with no injurys . it was quite a job to restore as it had to have every tube drilled and inspected for water and corosion then treated and resealed , fortunatley other than a tube in the engine mount it was in great shape, after recovery i completely dissasemble it and put it on a rotissery so we could posistion it any angle we wanted to make sure there was no moisture or corosion. all the paint was stripped off which took weeks to get into every little corner and around every rivet , then we re etched and alodined it epoxy primer and painted everything before re assembly so there were no unpainted areas under fairings to corrode . i took the engine to chuck ney in tulsa to be overhauled and it turned out about the only thing that was salvageable was the pushrod tubes valve covers and some external parts , all the internall parts were factory new and we bought a ney HD case with his beef ups and cam oil squirter mods, the prop we got overhauled by hope aero in ontario and the radios were all sent in to be cleaned and recertified too, along the way we put in all new hoses and lines through out the plane and stripped and resealed the tanks and put in new landing gear pucks tires and brakes. re assembly went pretty fast about a month thanks to the help of some friends up in muskoka who build show quality float plane conversions let me into their facility to guide me through the process. that was in fact probably the most valuable part of the whole proccess having three of the most detail oriented aircraft mechanics i have met to date to work with. the most valuable thing you will gain out of doing or assisting your own restoration is the intimate knowledge and understanding of how your aircrafts systems work i have since done a few more restorations and it definatley does get easier and faster to complete the task every time i will post a few more progress pictures through completion in the following replies
