1979 M20K 231 trim tube

[cwalter]

I have a 79 231 with a worn trim tube. Evidently the tube is installed losely in the airframe with some wear tape on it were it passes through and rubs on a rib. The rib has a wear gard on it as well. The tape on the tube wore through and it has worn about 1/4 into the tube wall. My mechanic is unable to find a replacement and Mooney has 3 people in the factory so any order could take a long time to fill at who knows what price.

The part number is 915026-009. Is anyone aware of availability of this part or an alternative replacement of this part?

Thanks,

Chris

This appears to be the second section from front. The assembly looks to have 4 tube sections and this Part Number applies to section 2 (from front). My mechanic said it wore at about the back of the rear seats passing a former or bulkhead. I will verify with my mechanic. How is the condition of the tube?

I really appreciate you responding!
