carusoam Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Letter back from Univair... Similar result, and another contact made... Hello A,I asked the other sales reps and they recommended trying to contact different owners clubs and see what they're using. We are not going to stock this part and we don't have a direct supplier for rubber molded parts. Let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.Thanks,Brycen Univair Aircraft Corporation Quote
Scott L Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 I need a set for my Mite as well. If anybody decides to make them, count me in for six. If I find any sources in the mean-time, I'll post here. -Scott N4096 Quote

MooneyMitey Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 I have a NOS set of donuts plus one. If anybody gets motivated and plans on gearing up to make these, let me know and I’ll let you borrow my spare for the dimensions, ect. Better yet, buy my Mite Project and get the whole set. I’m also in the process of parting out a NOS A-65-12F is anybody is serious about a -12 case. Try me at flyncair@gmail.com if your interested in cloning the donuts, the project, the engine, or a the whole thing. This is Paul Workman’s Mite Project. Karl 1 Quote
Yetti Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 I still think converting to air bags would be the best thing since sliced bread. http://www.stengelbros.com/suspension-springs/air-springs-air-bags/firestone-air-springs/ 1 Quote
carusoam Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 Firestone might be an interesting resource.... They made the donuts for the early M20s originally... Best regards, -a- Quote
carusoam Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 An invite for @Gert Gert is a rubber donut manufacturer in SA... Familiar with the manufacturing of aviation rubber donuts... Gert let me know if you have seen this thread... This is a real need for many people that don’t have rubber parts for their Mooneys... Best regards, -a- Quote

Best regards, -a- Hi Carusoam It certainly looks like something I can manufacture. Karl, if you read this. Could you lend me a new rubber mount for measurements and if you have an old one for destructive testing? It will be fantastic if I can manufacture these for Mooney Mite owners and extend the lives of these wonderful little birds. Blue skies Gert 1 Quote

hoot777 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 In the middle of doing five Mooneys C,E, F and G. A note to remember is there can be a plate cover over the top of the collar which prevents getting PB blaster down on the collar. We had to soak one for a day to get the disk off. 1968 that had never been changed thank goodness it has bladder tanks. Best price on disk was from Spruce with tool rental from Lasar. Both great folks to work with. Soak the crap out off the bolts before you attempt this job. I think I realize why mechanics don’t change them. Kind of like the oil suction screen operation. All have a great day and fly safely. Quote

gummirat Posted April 16, 2022 Report Posted April 16, 2022 Hello All! I do precision rubber molding and consulting in the NE Ohio area. I have spoken to a couple of you in this thread about the possibility of making this part. I need an unused part to do non-destructive dimensioning and hardness testing and I need one used part to do material ID and part construction (destructive testing). All parts will be returned when testing is completed. I spoke with @M20Doc about making this part about a year ago and at the time he had other projects he was working on. If you have a part that you are willing to send me, send me a DM to discuss details. Quote

I have old ones from my project and 6 NOS ones that I paid dearly to get, so I’m a little reluctant to let them get out of my grip. Is there a way to get you the info you need from the new ones?

Do you have the ability to mold things that thin? Don’t want to hijack the thread but can discuss via PM or email. Seems to be a few week links related to rubber parts on Mooneys. Quote
gummirat Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 Hi All hope you had a good holiday. Carusoam: I do prototype and small runs of parts that the larger companies don't want to do. I also consult and design. No web site just word of mouth. I work with a PMA holder on some seals and diaphragms. I also do seals for the chemical and off road market. Takair: will send dm with contact information. Thanks Mark 1 Quote
gummirat Posted April 27, 2022 Report Posted April 27, 2022 Hi All, I need a print with all dimensions including radii and a part to dissect for polymer id and cloth type ( not a usable one, it will be cut up.) to get this thing kicked off. carusoam: dm sent Quote
