What's the  bar called that holds the cargo door open? Yup. Mine got bend today, beyond repair. Tell me how to find a replacement and I'll be sohappy!! Thanks!

Which half?  At one of the ends?  If at the end you could probably just make it shorter

Arm Assy, Hold Open (913020-2 is the part # for 1965 M20C). Mine was missing, so I used a friends to fabricate one seeing how I couldn't find one(didn't really spend much time looking)

I'd like to know which service center you got that from!  I paid over $100 for it from Wilmar.

I bought one from Don Maxwell for my M20B last year when I was getting another part.  It was brand new.

$7.00 ?!?! I didn't think anything on these airplanes was less than $1000!

Matt, it's a condition members of the CB club have that manifests itself in one of two ways. For me, it's usually when my wife asks "how much did that cost?" For some reason I tend to drop a zero off the end of the dollar figure. Or it may rear its ugly head when I'm trying to rationalize a purchase...say avionics. A $15,000 upgrade can be reduced to $1500. I'm quessing the part really costs $70 but MyNameIsNobody is suffering from said condition....

Ahhh. That makes perfect sense now!

[MyNameIsNobody]

It's a simple piece of metal with a rivet and paint.  It was back in 2000 and I think it was Laser.  They charge idiot prices cause people will pay it.  I would not pay $100 for that part.  No friggin' way.

Apparently one that is not (fill in word) their customers.  I have had good parts experience with Wilmar, but I would have laughed in the guy's face at that one.

Can your friends make another?  How much?  I'd be interested in buying one.

 

[Chocks]

I can make as many as you guys need. You can install them yourself or have Texas State do the install if you feel the need.

I'll get one made up on Monday and give you guys info. I'll make sure the price is right.

Try some salvage yards as well. I just got some parts from AirSalvage of Dallas.

A note on that baggage door.  With my C, I made it a point never to leave it standing open unless I was in the hangar. Any gust of wind could lift it, kick the leg out and slam it shut.  It even happened once with my head inside the baggage compartment.

[Chocks]

So a quick update;

We were hoping to have the new machine dialed in this morning, but he needs a little more time with the head unit and the bits.

So early next week I'll revisit this and get some made up.

Sorry for the wait.

The piece on my 70 model looks and functions just like the one under the door--linear slide with a few bearings, nothing folds. I'll try to get a picture soon.

[Chocks]

Ok here they are. Sorry that took a while longer than expected.
