n5756k Posted February 28, 2022 Report Posted February 28, 2022 I have a 1984 M20J serial #24-1463. The fitting on the end of the cowl flap rod came apart. It is a collar that slides up and connect to a ball fitting attached to the cowl flap door. I received one from BAS, but my cowl flap has a larger ball end and doesn't fit this one from BAS. I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. LASAR doesn't seam to understand what I'm looking for (but they are very nice). Does any on have one to sell or know where I can purchase one?

N201MKTurbo Posted February 28, 2022 Report Posted February 28, 2022 I bought two new ones when I rebuilt my engine. I didn't have any trouble finding them. I would have to look through my paperwork to find the part number and who I got them from. The IPC says they are: A29104 https://lasar.com/power-plant-hardware/cowl-flap-attach-fitting-balljoint-a29104

PT20J Posted March 1, 2022 Report Posted March 1, 2022 Interesting. The 29104 part number Googles up a ball joint used on marine series 40 engine cables. https://www.fisheriessupply.com/morse-control-ball-joints-for-40-series-engine-cables 1
