Vintage overhead vent parts


Recommended Posts

I doubt anyone would ever want to install one of these systems into a Mooney, but perhaps some folks might need spare parts? I'm installing the newer vent system with the dorsal fairing intake and eyeball vents in the headliner, so I don't need any of this.

 

I've got plenum pieces in decent condition, pop-up scoop, cable, ratcheting thingy for the knob, a drain tube (had to cut it into 2 pieces), and most importantly, the circular vents and plastic louvers in great condition.

 

I'm thinking the 4 vents/louvers are worth $100 for all 4. The rest are up for offers!

 

I may have headliner pieces available later... I don't want to let those go yet until I have my newer pieces installed. 855dd4e466909d1903407e67d866b16d.jpg

I'm retrofitting the later J system from my '81 salvage plane. It has the NACA scoop on the dorsal fairing, plenum + 2.5" pipe in the tail cone, a plenum on the hat rack bulkhead, and 4 hoses to eyeball vents in the headliner. Straightforward, but a lot of labor! It helps having the donor parts/plane all together so I can see exactly how it should work, and use it for templates to locate things.

I patched the hole in the cabin roof where the pop-up scoop was too. I'm not finished yet, but making steady progress. I'm also hiding my new 406 ELT antenna under the fairing per the Mooney SB.
