Circuit breaker for '67 M20C

[0TreeLemur]

When recently replacing the panel in our '67 M20C, one of the (original?) circuit breakers broke.  It was a 10A.  There was a spare 15A so we used that one temporarily.   Can someone recommend a contemporary replacement?   It was connected to a bus bar on the bottom, and power out on top. It has a similar look to the Klixon 7277, in that the screw terminals are slanted.  But- it just doesn't look right.  Suggestions appreciated.

The top part of the case broke when my son put a screwdriver on it to loosen the screw.  Given the brittle nature of the one that broke, I'm guessing others might be brittle too.

When I upgraded my panel, I replaced all my breakers and saved my old ones in a box.  If you post a part number and I have what you need,  I'll send it to you.

Same started happening to me a while ago. My old breakers started to brake... I looked into replacing some of them, but then I discovered that the bus bar was in bad shape too, so I decided to redo the whole breaker panel with new breakers.

Based on what I am seeing on that new breaker panel, it looks like you have room for new avionics. What’s next?

Fred,

If you are looking for a source of the circuit breaker, might I suggest...

Check the part number on the one you have against what AS has.  You should be able to get an exact replacement.

The old mechanical CBs have a tendency to wear out and not carry the full load after a few decades...  typical failure of the landing light CB.

Best regards,

Not really. The space next to the breakers is actually where the Garmin 795 goes. Additionally, even if I wanted something new, I really don't know what... may be a should look into upgrading into a 201 take all the avionics out and transfer them to my new plane.

Thanks for the offer Tony- I appreciate your offer.  But, I think I'll do what you did and replace the old ones.  They are brittle.
