Nukemzzz Posted March 7, 2020 Report Posted March 7, 2020 66’ M20e. Flap release cable snapped today just behind the lever. Hoping I can slide a new wire in the housing so I don’t need to source and run a new cable. I’m having a hard time finding a “just the wire” supplier. Any tips on where to find this? Quote

Do you know if it’s the same size as the indicators? I bought some recently, should just be piano wire or music wire. check the diameter size, I might have some. but yeah, you should be able to do just that Quote
Nukemzzz Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Posted March 8, 2020 I’ll measure it tomorrow. thanks! Quote
1964-M20E Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 Also you can order another push pull cable with the same size inner wire and use the just the inner wire. Check you local small aviation engine shop or your local aviation hardware store. Get own long enough the trim and shape to fit. Quote
larryb Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/9495K92Measure your old one with a caliper to make sure you order the correct wire diameter. The one above works for the oxygen valve actuator. 1 Quote

chriscalandro Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0991247 I don’t have that size. Google it. It’s cheap Quote
MIR2018 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 Mine broke in exactly the same spot a week ago... Quote
Nukemzzz Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Posted March 9, 2020 I have this one on the way from McMaster: They only had the Matte finish in the right size. Hopefully it is smooth enough to work. I should get it tomorrow. I'll let you guys know if it works. Quote
larryb Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 As you feed the wire into the casing squirt some tri flow on it. Quote
Lionudakis Posted April 19, 2020 Report Posted April 19, 2020 PART NUMBER 05-14300 cable assembly (knob, outer and inner cable) from Aircraft Spruce has an inner 0.055 cable. 8 footer is 20 bucks. Use the whole thing or just the inner. Its cheap enough Quote
Oliver Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 I assume you managed to get it fixed!? We want to replace ours but struggle to get access to where it attaches to the lever. How much stuff did you take apart to replace it? Quote
carusoam Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 It’s been a while since @Nukemzzz came by…. But only measured in days and weeks… -a- Quote
