V/R Rusty Nance You should with Bob Belville and Guitarmaster to see if they have their boots they removed for the SabreCowl upgrade. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

carusoam Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 In that case... send up a signal like this... @Bob_Belville and @Guitarmaster... or send a pm. -a-
ragedracer1977 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 I just ordered a new intake boot for my 180hp from lasar. My last oil analysis showed a little aluminum. Not a lot, and they noted it wasn't concerning at this time, but keep an eye on it. I had the cowl off for a landing light replacement and noticed that the folks that did my annual didn't install the dog house correctly and it was rubbing A LOT. there was powdered aluminum in the bottom of the cowl. I was wiping it out and noticed my intake boot has holes all over it. It is in terrible condition. I'm hoping the raised aluminum in the oil analysis is a result of that situation. 1

It's only a couple of years old but it has a small crack already. 1 1
carusoam Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 We have a guy that may have a solution to this boot’s material issue.... See if @GEE-BEE knows about this funky intake hose like device? I think I remember him mentioning this once... Best regards, -a-
75_M20F Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) I happen to have one that is basically unused. It was installed as a replacement on my M20F Jan 2017, but then I did the Lopresti so it came right back off...... I see they sell for $300.00 at LASAR. I will offer mine for half that.... I can send pics of it if anyone is interested. Edited March 18, 2018 by ABCDEF

RobertGary1 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 I used to replace mine every few years. Then I stopped dropping the cowl for annual and mine has been good for 10+ years. Something to consider to extend its life. You can inspect all the exhaust etc with mirrors after removing the heater shroud. -Robert 1 1
