Happiness is 11 empty boxes.

All 11 shock discs replaced!

The mains were a breeze (except for one bolt that had been buggered up by a previous mechanic), no special tool required.  The nose....(done in conjunction with a new nose truss) was an incredible journey without the tool and an opportunity to expand one's socially incorrect vocabulary.

Mooney's instructions:  minimal.

Old discs were 12/90 and just failed to pass muster on this year's annual.

Aircraft Spruce price:  $125 + tax.....each.

Ouch.

Good job...................now, on to oleo struts

Maybe the infamous Mooney 3 strikes your out bounce will be a thing of the past ! [not that I ever bounced more than twice ]

Gus,

Got any pics of the old donuts?   Some really show their age...
 

30yrs for an M20C

20yrs for an M20J

10yrs for an M20R

 

Estimated life of some donuts that have been tossed out around here...   

Best regards,

I hear this rumor that oleo is coming.

For real?

For legacy fleet?

Really?

For less than xx jillion dollars?

Yes, but no matter how I edited and re-saved the files, MS insists on displaying them sideways.  This is an irritating feature of the interface between my tablet, or computer and MS.  Sorry.

Way cool!

Better to have the pics sideways, than no pics at all...   

Thanks for sharing...
