Drumstick Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Starting a new thread for this topic. I've seen the other posts but not all the hardware was covered. Most were replacing a broken arm - mine is missing -everything! So I can get the arm from a member but is there a bracket that is missing as well? The plastic pieces are from a newer M20c as it is molded for the newer style door arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Somebody machined a nice looking one from a block of aluminum around here... fuzzy memory... See if it was Chocks that made them? -a- Edited January 22, 2017 by carusoam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumstick Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) So I know I can buy the new arm but the arm attaches to brackets and also has screws. What kind of bracket and screws? Also - the interior seems different and has an upholstered panel and mine has the plastic for years the later model.

I need the screws that hold the bracket to the door. It also looks like there is a bracket on the door that the arm screws into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Much appreciated! The door plastics are definitely not original. I think there was supposed to be an upholstered panel like the one in your picture. Not sure if your bracket will fit wth the plastic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBill Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 ok here is detail on my 65 m20e. both ends are held on with 8-32 riveted nutplate and 1/2 in SS 8-32 flat head screw and washer.. You can see rivets for nutplates in each picture. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumstick Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks! Perfect amount of detail that I needed. Anyone know where to find the piece of upholstery for the door? I don't think the plastic is compatible with this assembly which is probably why it was removed in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucko Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Chocks made one for me that looks like the picture Drumstick has above. Email me for his contact info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Shane, You are the best! I like the option of the real part made from 3D printing! Nicely done, -a- Edited January 26, 2017 by carusoam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBill Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 The original part is from sheet metal and is a POS since it bends so easily. The billett Al part is the way to go but so expensive for the factory. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to test the printed one out some more, so metal only for now. But I think having the plastic option will be perfect for some users.

But I think having the plastic option will be perfect for some users. What kind of printer/plastic did you use? I have a nylon and carbon-fiber, fiberglass, or Kevlar, (long strands, not chopped fibers), printer. The manufacturer claims that its CF parts are as strong as aluminum. If anyone has a file or at least dimensions, I can easily print these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike20papa Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I built a new one of these, but I remember the allowable space between the door edge and the fuselage opening was very limited (when closed). I had to use like .040" hinge blades and then it just barely fit. Used 4130 in order to get the stiffness required. The hinge pin/assembly has to be kept to an absolute minimum width. The best thing I did was get rid of that old rolled junk door hinge and replace it with an extruded 2024 hinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes Intl shipping gets a little screwy in my little town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
