1976 M20F fresh air bezel and valve


Recommended Posts

Paging @Derrickearly...

See Rich’s pics above.  We might all be on a different page..?

How new is your 76 F? :) 
 

there are two sources of outside air...


1) At the ceiling... airflow controlled by a knob, opening the scoop on the roof. Newer planes got a naca duct in the tail...

2) At the instrument panel. The cabin heat system is attached to this one... controlled via push/pull on the instrument panel...

Older Mooneys got slide gates... slightly newer Mooneys got butterfly valves.

Best regards,

Here is an image from the parts manual. I’m missing 38 and 39.

I used one of these with an angled filler underneath to allow the airflow to point higher up.

Ahah, thanks. Seems like a good candidate for replacement with, um, say a bottle opener? default_wink.png

 

Also, was this Ozzy Osborn’s plane?

Bats baby. Bats!

 

I think that picture was taken before we converted the former ashtray covering plate for a mount for a removable mygoflight iPad mount. The mark was a centering X.

Hopefully, this will work as an adapter for https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/largealumavblack.php

The largest challenge for these eyeball replacements is the 25 degree movement. You may need to modify the vent adapter to angle the eyeball to get the coverage you want. Looking forward to the final product.
