vanboom Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Hi - I have an 1983 J model and I am missing an instrument mounting screw on my altimeter. The parts catalog shows this as a SFS6C14D-L01BK (Mooney specific part number for a screw??) From what I can tell, it is a #6-40 screw. I am amazed to not find much information about this on the internet. Has anyone had experience finding instrument screws? thanks much! Don
N601RX Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Aircraft spruce has instrument screws and nuts. It should be a non magnetic screw. Otherwise the screw can become magnetized and cause a reading error in the instrument. Be sure to use the correct length. On some instruments the screw goes into the internal part of the instrument and a screw to long can damage the instrument.
