Drumstick Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 Can anyone give me a aircraft spruce parts number for the 1/8 and 1/16" engine shims for an M20C? Quote

It's my understanding that it is a large area washer, and you cut a slot for ease of installation, if you had all the dementions you might be able find the "AN" or "MS" number and get them that way Quote
Guest Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 The thicker ones are supplied with every new Lord mount set, your shop may have a few spares. The thin ones can be made with a hole saw and a piece of 1/16" 4130 sheet. Clarence Quote

It looks like he removed it from his site. What is the diameter measurement of both of those shims? 600364-001 and 600364-003 Are there any other alternative part numbers? LASER gouges $100 each and that price adds up after you need 8 of them. Quote
Bartman Posted February 5, 2022 Report Posted February 5, 2022 Do you have a pilot friend who or your A+P who recently changed mounts? I suggest finding some that were removed and use them. Ask around at your airport, shouldn’t be too hard to find. Quote

The pics are missing, but if you're familiar with the mounts and shims they don't add that much. https://web.archive.org/web/20190207032717/http://donmaxwell.com/aligning-your-engine-using-shims/ 1 Quote
David Lloyd Posted February 5, 2022 Report Posted February 5, 2022 Back in my experimental days, AN970 washers from Spruce did the job. One washer on each bottom mount will raise the spinner about 3/8”. Not me, but have seen the same use on a Mooney after cutting a slot to ease installation. 2 Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted February 5, 2022 Report Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) After almost 40 years of Mooney ownership, I have a whole box of those motor mount washers. I even have one that I’m pretty sure was modified by DMax himself. I have quite a few of his signatures in my logbooks before I bought it. Edited February 5, 2022 by N201MKTurbo 1 Quote
Fly Boomer Posted February 5, 2022 Report Posted February 5, 2022 This article from DMAX is still not great, but it has some pics. 2001-06 MAPA Log 24.06 Aligning Your Engine.pdf 1 Quote

As a general rule of thumb, the lift at the spinner is four times the washer thickness. At $100 each I’d buy a holes saw and a piece of 4130 steel from Spruce if your maintainer doesn’t have some.
