Zak Posted November 23, 2020 Report Posted November 23, 2020 Our yoke emblems were broke and missing. I made a cast of one to replace ours. They turned out great! Do does anyone need a replacement? You will have to drill the mounting holes and paint them. A friends wife cut the Mooney logo out in vinyl. 3 Quote
carusoam Posted November 23, 2020 Report Posted November 23, 2020 Zak, Are you flying a ‘74 M20F? Those look familiar to a few yokes around here like @Marauder’s... Interesting casting solution you have there..! Can you describe the impression and casting method you used? (Possibly dental technology? ) Best regards, -a- Quote
Zak Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Posted November 23, 2020 I used a casting kit. Worked really well. I could see lots of possible applications for it. https://www.alumilite.com/resins/super-casting-kit/ 1 Quote
David Lloyd Posted November 23, 2020 Report Posted November 23, 2020 Zak, one of mine is loose on the control wheel. How is it held on? Yours turned out great. Love the mongo yokes. Quote
Zak Posted November 24, 2020 Author Report Posted November 24, 2020 Pop out the center circle disk, there are 2 screws that hold it to the yoke. You can put a dab of RTV behind the emblem if you can not tighten the screws. Don't get them too tight the plastic is brittle and breaks easily. The disk probably has RTV holding it in place also.

David Lloyd Posted November 24, 2020 Report Posted November 24, 2020 Thanks. That is one of those simple but not obvious things way down on the list of things to do. Quote

I gave up looking for replacements about 4 years ago. Quote
air cooled dad Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 Wow!! That looks great! My ugly yokes could use some love. Do you still have these laying around? I could use two! Thank you, Jason '75F Quote
esands Posted February 25, 2022 Report Posted February 25, 2022 I can see this is a very old topic, I'm in the process of buying a 75 M20F with very ugly yokes... I've been looking at replacing them with 201 Yokes, but to my shock, I can do some avionics upgrade for about the same price lol Do you have 2 of these left? Or can I pay you to make me say 4 so I'd have replacements? Quote
carusoam Posted February 26, 2022 Report Posted February 26, 2022 Welcome aboard elands! @Zak hasn’t been by in a while… -a- Quote
esands Posted March 1, 2022 Report Posted March 1, 2022 Thanks, @Zak Well I'm just going to have to find a different solution. 1 Quote
Zak Posted November 25, 2023 Author Report Posted November 25, 2023 @esands @air cooled dad @carusoam @kpaul Sorry folks! I haven't been by in a while! I can get you all some emblems if you still need them! If you see this thread and I'm not on MooneySpace for a while send me an email, I'll get to you! zakloosle@yahoo.com Quote
