co2bruce Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Does anyone know who makes this switch for Mooney? Possible part number (not Mooney's I have that). Anyone have a picture of the part? There is no way a switch like this should cost that much money. Help
MB65E Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Valued Engineered Products. (VEP) was the manufacture of some. I think they are out of business... -Matt
N201MKTurbo Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Looks like they are still in business... http://www.veproducts.com/products/654.html
N201MKTurbo Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Give them a call, maybe they can overhaul it.
co2bruce Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 You guys are amazing I love this community. What a knowledge base! Will call today.
co2bruce Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 Spoke to them this morning. They were very nice, and for the record they do still manufacture the switch for Mooney International. Thanks for all your help. 1

Why not adjust/repair it. Clarence

The switch can be trouble shot with a little mouth pressure. If you are friends with any instrument shop they have the equipment to set the airspeed trip point, or you could hook it in parallel with an old airspeed indicator and use gentle mouth pressure.

I have found the ideal is a large syringe. You can push up to the desired pressure and hold it there without effort. 1
jclemens Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 I piece of 5/8 plain rubber hose fits snugly over the pitot mast. Plug the other end and push the hose over the pitot mast to obtain the desired indicated airspeed. Use a little LPS or similar to make it slide smoothly.
