JP Dice Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Does anyone know a good source for this exhaust clamp/bracket? As you can tell, it is broken. We are also tracking down the oil leak Thanks! James Paul Dice Birmingham Quote
carusoam Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 JP, I would expect the muffler shops would be the place to find that... Search for aero welders around here. This should turn up a few suppliers of OHers of exhaust parts... The aviation aisle at Napa might make a second choice if you need one yesterday... Can your mechanic weld it? PP thoughts only, not a mechanic... Best regards, -a- Quote
MB65E Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 I have not see one clamped in that location. Check your IPC it may not be required. Looks like some one had the idea for it to be rigid when it needs to move. -Matt Quote
carusoam Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Interesting point Matt! It is usually connected to piece of rubber, often part of an old tire... I can’t tell from the pic what the flexy part is made of... The rubber flexy part has been discussed around here before... might also be able to find the bits and pieces at aircraft spruce...

Guest Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 From the IPC, two different location for the tailpipe support clamp. Clarence Quote

Should have a AN3-5A where you have a screw. Check the other clamp under cowl flap too and while under there make sure you have the proper bolts and springs See item 14 in Fig 1. Quote
carusoam Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 See if @JP Dice is coming back today... (your part number is here) ^^^^ See M20Doc above... Best regards, -a- Quote
JP Dice Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 Thanks folks. Very good information. I managed to order the part from Mooney via Lasar. It was around $160. Quote
lotsofgadgets Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) $160....Ouch. Mine broke in the same place, the rubber is fine, just the metal adel clamp was broken. I was able to order 5 of them for $8 on eBay. I have 4 left if you need one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Qty-5-Umpco-Adel-Type-3-Metal-Loop-Clamp-MS21333-27/110731447222?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Edited March 2, 2020 by lotsofgadgets Quote
N177MC Posted April 12, 2020 Report Posted April 12, 2020 Please be advised that the clamp in question is NOT an Adel clamp and does not come close on multiple counts: - The original clamp has a tang that is about 2" long, that's the part that broke off on the OP - The original clamp is made of steel - Adel clamps are aluminum. There IS a reason why the OEM parts cost more ... 1 Quote
KB4 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Posted April 12, 2020 Check with these guys. You may have to send them the old piece so they can fab a new one. Put me down for 1 clamp and get some others J owners---maybe could bring price down. https://awi-ami.com/mooney-m-20-200-slip-rib-m-20j-exhaust-system-itemized-parts-list-mapped-image Quote
