chan65 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Aft bulkhead for McCauley spinner, little did I know when I was redoing the prop, that it was attached to a non existent bulkhead, I had no idea there were so many aviation scrapyards in America, I think I've spoken to everyone. I have seen this posted on before, but a couple things have changed. The Mooney part is no longer available , apparently a company called Globe used to make then but no more. They are non existent at the scrapyards, the option is to repair, the warning is they are lasting 10 hours after welding. The next option is the very nice Hartzell composite kit, but you need a Hartzell prop for that which I don't have, so word of warning before redoing a McCauley for a Mooney J , look to trade in and get the Hartzell with the new kit. Ill end up selling my McCauley with 150 hours and installing a new Hartzell just to get a 12 oz piece of aluminum replaced, costly ...... anyone with any other ideas I'd love to hear.

Guest Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I believe that I have a complete assembly, bulkhead and dome. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201Mooniac Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I believe I also have the spinner and bulkhead that I removed from my 201 when I installed the MT prop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 And they definitely last for more than 10 hours after welding/repair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Verify that you have complied with this S/B. https://www.mooney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/SBM20-219.pdf Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201Mooniac Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 According to the registry info for his N number, the serial number is 24-900 which isn't in the range of that SB. Curious, is that something that should be complied with other or all serial numbers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I’ve seen a number of J models over the years that didn’t have the 6 reinforcement parts, almost all had small cracks in the bulkhead. It’s worth checking, whether the serial number falls into the SB or not. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chan65 Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Mooney space saves the day, fortunately I found one here, my 6 month plan will likely be to fly , have m original repaired for a back up , then look to replace the McCauley, to get out of this trap. Thanks for the quick help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
