carusoam Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 With a part number like that... Call Dan at Lasar... Probably has them on the shelf somewhere... https://lasar.com Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolter Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Good candidate for owner-manufactured. Gives you the chance to replace the multiple spacers on each side of the heim joint with a single spacer on each side. Note: I am envisioning this is the same as on my J and the E I have also been under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I’ve been known to take a standard AN bushing, cut it with the high speed and file it down till it fits. Just saying.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rwsavory Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Same part number, but mislabeled as a “throttle spacer?” It might be what you’re looking for: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mooney-Aircraft-Throttle-Spacer-P-N-550017-005-New-Surplus-/274325042233?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones shown are of aluminum construction. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence The one I had already installed was made of aluminum, probably that's why it got damaged not the one made of steel on the other side of the eyebolt, I don't know if someone put aluminum spacer instead of steel but I just replaced it with exact part as it was before.

The next time it's out or indicating wear, just measure the ID and OD and length, then get a piece of steel tube stock and cut one to length. I think that's what Clarence suggested above as well. I keep various tube stock around as it gets used all over. Sometimes there's a tradeoff of whether it is aluminum or steel or brass or whatever, but keep an eye on it for wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
