testwest Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 Greeting Modern Mooniacs I need a favor from someone. We are putting the E-T-A switches for nav lites, strobes, boost pump etc in our 1977 M20J. The back of these switches is different than the original Klixon (Sensata) switches. I need to see how they install the aux bus bar on the row of E-T-A switches... SO if anyone with a 1984ish or newer M20 could take a picture under their panel of this bus bar or wiring arrangement and post it, that would be very much appreciated. Think of it as a Mooney upskirt shot. "Good night, everybody!!" - Y. Warner (Marauder is gonna laugh at that, but I will now burn for eternity ). Thanks. Quote
Cruiser Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 It's dark up there......... you're not suppose to see a Mooney's private parts......... Quote
rbridges Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 my 65C has ETA switches. Would it have the same bus bar? I can get a pic tomorrow if that would help. 1 Quote
testwest Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Posted August 12, 2015 I think so! Any picture would help. Thanks a lot! Quote
rbridges Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 harder than I thought. Let me know if these help. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 Proof that the bus bar really is a heavy bar! Swapping different manufacturers parts (different depths) takes some consideration. Nice photos, RB. Best regards, -a- Quote
rbridges Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks. Wasn't sure it got what he needed. Getting decent light and focus is hard with a smartphone camera in close quarters. 1 Quote
testwest Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Posted August 15, 2015 That is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a million!! My curiosity was about the connector to the bar, the little bent tabs don't provide a lot of contact area...and an IC landing light has a pretty high inrush current at first make. Apparently it is ok.. Quote
ArtVandelay Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks. Wasn't sure it got what he needed. Getting decent light and focus is hard with a smartphone camera in close quarters. Set the flash light from Auto to On, it will make it easier Quote
Hank Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 So does switching to the front camera. Quote
rbridges Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 So does switching to the front camera. I tried that but kept getting crap pictures of stuff I didn't want. I needed to use the back camera so that I could use the LCD screen to aim. Set the flash light from Auto to On, it will make it easier I ended up doing that in some. I was in the hangar and the darkness made it hard to focus. I guess I could have left the camera light on while I was setting up the pic. 1 Quote
testwest Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Posted August 22, 2015 I truly appreciate the effort you expended, it was really helpful. This is what Mooneyspace is about. Quote
rbridges Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Man, no problem. I've definitely gotten more out of this form than I've given. I agree, it's what it's all about. 1 Quote
