Glar-Ban vs. Whelen Post Lights

[outermarker]

My 65' E has post lights which are Whelen, and are flat on top. I have also noted on other Mooney's Glar-Ban post lights which have a bump on top. Both types use the same bulb, GE 330. And although the bases are similar, the Glar-Ban won't work in my aircraft. I am not planning on converting to LED's soon so if anyone has Whelen post light heads or the entire assembly, in any color, I'd sure like to have a few spares on the shelf. 

Another item to change in the near future are the toggle circuit breakers. Since I use the fuel pump toggle the most it displays some wear (sloppiness). The fuel pump circuit breaker is p/n 7072-05-10 and as mentioned in another post, I won't even mention the price unless you are sitting down first. Of course, the price has quadrupled on the excuse of Covid. There have also been complaints of wrong labeling, so I would rather seek a serviceable part if anyone has one to sell.

Albert,

Welcome to the CB club…

The lowest cost CB switches….   CB= Circuit Breaker

Are often found sold directly through AircraftSpruce…

The CBs that carry a lot of electricity through them wear the most…

 

Worn CB switches show their wear by losing their click… the over center nature that keeps them locked on/off…

When the click is gone… they don’t work as switches anymore…

 

Long way to say…

Check with @Alan Fox he has the biggest pile of pre-flown Mooney parts…

Got a pic of which one you are looking for?

Best regards,
