I found that the cable assembly on mine were frozen as well. I used Sea Foam’s Deep Creep and one of these to lubricate the cable:

Interesting re:model year. So mine may better match ones that proclaim to be a 68?

My plane is a 68, so that's what I'm going to check it against.  Would you prefer black?  I have black filament as well.

I do think I’d prefer a pair of black handles.

Doesn't this make your F a '68 model?

Hank, of course it does. And it's second one for the year model which makes it special. 

For some reason, a lot of people find surprising that 68 model is built in a fall of 67 but all of the car manufacturers do that  and no one blinks. 

My 67F (s/n 670091) was first time flown on 10/1/66...

Hi, John! I tried messaging you but it says you cannot receive messages.  Did you end up discovering an extra handle/lever? Thanks!

 

As I recall I had a good one and a cracked one.  The handles are more substantial than the ones pictured.  I need to look in several boxes.  I will try to look this weekend.  Very cold here to be picking around in attics but will look.

What happens when you tried to message me?

Just to see if it a system issue…

Let me know if you see it…

Best regards,

I printed 5 of these trying different settings.  I have 2 black ones that look like functional parts.  They are someone else's design so I can't sell them ethically but if you want them I will mail them to you.  The print quality is not excellent but they look ok and seemed to fit my plane.  FYI you will need slightly longer screws.  If you want them send me a message with your address.

Hello Folks, recently purchased a 68 Mooney M20G, and looking for a back seat level. The picture shown here by @Utah20Gflyerlooks like exactly what I am looking for. Any chance you still have one or two spare? Let me know! Thanks!!!!!!
