Jblanton Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 Looking for a servicable induction flexible duct for 180 hp with carb. It is the black flexible accordion looking part between the air filter, and the carb heat box. P/N 600064-000 I have a 68 M20G, but it is the same part for A, B, C, D, G. I have been trying to find a new one with no luck. Thanks, Jeff
carusoam Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 Jeff, Check this thread in motion.... Best regards, -a-
Jblanton Posted October 10, 2019 Author Report Posted October 10, 2019 I saw that thread as well. The E model is different due to the fuel injection. It's crazy I am stuck on the ground because I can't find a rubber induction duct!
Niko182 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 Gotta call mooney. I had the same issue when someone crushed my induction duct.
carusoam Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 Jb... the planes are different... the hose part is different... The challenge is identical.... The solution is needed for both... One supplier with a decent background in the hose manufacturing business would be greatly appreciated... The existing part supplier has been hard to get parts from over the years... and the price is....beyond ridiculous... Every engine on and off the planet uses an intake hose of a similar sort... I had this challenge a decade ago with my M20C... I might still be annoyed by the current situation... Best regards, -a-
Shiny moose Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 I thought GeeBee would be making these if he could sell enough of them
carusoam Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 There seems to be a snafu on that GeeBee plan... covered in the other thread about the same topic... Best regards, -a-

I’d say he got derailed. Hope that those that installed his baffles don’t get stuck with an AD or some other form of action.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
vorlon1 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Ok, I'm looking for the same thing for my C model. BTW, this was one of the things I deferred during last years annual. Does anyone have a source for these? 1
carusoam Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 @LASAR @Alan Fox @acpartswhse @SheryLoewen Some contacts that come to mind... the first is new parts... the other three are Mooney recyclers... Best regards, -a-
vorlon1 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 Thanks. Looked at Lasar a couple of days ago and they showed out of stock. I was wondering if the OP ever found anything...
Sabremech Posted October 20, 2019 Report Posted October 20, 2019 I have one that I removed from my 66 C model that’s in ok condition. I no longer need it now that I have my cowling and a different induction system. I’d take $75 plus shipping for it. David
Jblanton Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Posted October 20, 2019 I found one here on mooneyspace that is in pretty good shape. Jump on that one Vorlon1! Texas air salvage has one, but they tried to take advantage of the situation and quoted me something outrageous for a used one with a couple holes.
tigers2007 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Its coming to the point that we'll have no choice but to buy SabreMech's new cowl.
David Lloyd Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Mooney built over 2000 C's and D's, almost 3000 E's and F's. If the induction duct gets replaced every 10 or 15 years, that is 150 or so per year for the C/D, 200+ for the E/F. At a few hundred dollars each, it appears a stream of money to someone to come up with an answer to this problem. Why are these not available through Mooney?

At a few hundred dollars each, it appears a stream of money to someone to come up with an answer to this problem. Why are these not available through Mooney? Probably because the induction boot doesn't fit into their OOPS (Out Of Production Support) model. I had no issue getting components that are used in their current and late model fleets. But for the true vintage Mooney parts, these parts are left to the original stock hidden in a MSC or maintenance shop. Or if you are lucky with a manufacturer still making them -- most likely for a much larger fleet.
ArtVandelay Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Does anyone have a picture of this part, just for own curiosity, I’m wondering how difficult it would be to fabricate?Tom
carusoam Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 Inviting @GEE-BEE to have a look-see at the aeroduct part pic that Delta has above... ^^^^ and the T.A.M. Outlined by David Loyd further up the chain... M20A,B,C,D and G are using it..all carbed 180hp. according to Lasar’s site... https://lasar.com/power-plant/180hp-intake-duct-m20a-b-c-d-g-600064-000 Best regards, -a-
FloridaMan Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Just note, and I don’t know if they’re similar, but a Piper had an engine failure on takeoff recently that ended up in the drink from KTPF where someone used the wrong hose for induction and it collapsed.
