Cowl locking part number

[Tommy]

Hi everyone!

Not sure what the part is called. It's the bit that's spring loaded and locks onto the cowl flap.

Need a replacement. Thanks guys!

You mean they aren't just dzus fasteners? Spruce carries them.

They are talking about a quick-disconnect for the cowl flaps not the regular cowl fasteners.

I'm fairly certain this item matches up exactly with the broken part removed from my M20. To confirm you can call McMaster and request the OEM part number for the item (isn't shown on website).

I just hate seeing people overpay for "stock" items.

I love LASAR for Mooney specific parts and "advice" but they probably won't beat McMaster at $5.10.

Cool!

Thanks guys!

Good point INA. Stainless-steel for only a couple of bucks more.

My originals were just plated-steel so I went with those again, but I'm a fan of SS.

Either of these should work fine.

And the best part is that when you disconnect the cowl flaps no longer do you have to chase the spring and sleeve as they bounce across the hangar floor!

If you can round up all the parts you can put it together and peen the edges of the inner part or,the collar.  That's how it's made but over time the peened over edge wears off and it comes apart.

Just received an email from McMaster and they don't ship internationally unless I am one of the reputable traders!

Anyone has got a spare one hanging around? Happy to pay for everything of course!

Thanks!

I paid something like $15-$20 for a pair from LASAR. Maybe they will ship to Oz.

If you run out of viable options, I would be glad to order one from McMaster and send it to you. However, figure in the time and cost for two shippings.
