hnorber Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 Hi All: The rubber bracket that holds my exhaust pipe in place under the cowling is mostly cracked. Does anyone have a part number or explanation of where I can find a replacement part? I think the current one was fashioned from an old tire by my mechanic. Would also be grateful if anyone has a part number for the tail strobe for my plane. Shop quoted me about $300 - would hope that I can find for less. This is for a 1991 M20J (Really an MSE). Thnx
ArtVandelay Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 If you going to spend $300, upgrade it to a LED for a little more.My muffler hangar is an owner produced part from a tire as it commonly is.
buddy Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 I believe I bought a universal tail pipe hanger from an auto parts store and cut the rubber out from in between the metal brackets.
N201MKTurbo Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 A few layers of reinforced baffle seal works well if you don’t like tires, Most hangars I visit have a stack of old airplane tires somewhere, so they are aircraft parts.... Make sure you cut the part of the side wall that says FAA-PMA on it. Who could argue with that? 1 1
carusoam Posted August 15, 2020 Report Posted August 15, 2020 There is a few threads around here regarding pics of peoples favorite tire art that had been cut for the job... A flying foot from a GoodYear... is pretty fancy... GoodYear has a blimp... that’s aviation.... The transitive property of air worthiness... For new style Whelen LED strobes find @OSUAV8TER he is the MS lighting resource... Best regards, -a- An example of tire discussion, and there are a few threads....
Yetti Posted August 15, 2020 Report Posted August 15, 2020 New blade in a utility knife. Old airplane tire sidewall. Use hanger as template to drill holes in the rubber. Or is that hangar. carry on
