Looking for Backordered Parts for '77 M20J

[katzhome]

Hi All,

My list of backordered parts post-pre-buy is shrinking, but I still have 3 stubborn ones that Top Gun has not been able to find.  I'm trying to see if I can help track them down so I can start flying my new plane. 

Does anyone happen to have these squirreled away somewhere that would be willing to part with them?

660155-503 Restrictor
660156-507 Tube, Manifold Pressure
660051-005 Swivel Joint Kit, Mixture Control

I'm looking for new or gently used of course.

Many Thanks!

Do you have a pic of the MP tube kit? I might have it from my 77.

Hi @KSMooniac ,

 

I have not yet been able to find any pictures.  I am continuing to look but if anyone else out there does, I would greatly appreciate it!

Re the rod bearing kit 

What year and model is this ?  I am finding that 660156-507 part references to the MP gauge in a J instead of the Tube. 
 

If you can’t find the part - OPP.  The tubing and restrictors for MP are standard parts / materials. Just make sure they are airworthy.

The plane is a ‘77 J.  The part numbers are from Top Gun.  The descriptions are from my searches and could be incorrect.  So I trust the number more than the description.  I had not been able to find the IPC yet.  Many Thanks!

Yes something isn’t matching up.  It’s either the gauge or the tubing that they are calling out.  Call mark he’ll be helpful.

That helps a lot!  Looks like tracing and per the diagram the restrictor is item 13 and tube is item 14 and those part numbers match my listing at the top.

So for the 660051-005 swivel joint kit it looks like the part is an Aurora or Heim, but I have not been able to find a part cross-reference resource.  I have a messsge into Top Gun, but does anyone have a reference I could dig through or if there is a component-level drawing around for that unit?

I would call Dan at Lasar. He's still got the best overall knowledge of Mooney parts and he'll know.

Also try Dave at AirMods.  They have a parts inventory too.

I’ll try Dave, thanks .  LASAR did not have any of the items in stock.

There is a post in the above thread with a picture and part numbers.

@katzhome You’ll probably want to try AirParts for that swivel joint kit they may even have some of the other parts you are looking for. They just launched and their inventory isn’t completely online yet. You can reach them at 855-517-2787 or www.airparts.aero

Thank you!  This was just what I was looking for!

I've got a good number of those parts on order at this point, need to contact LASAR and a couple of other spots for the Mooney-specific washer.

@bradp,

 

Thank you.  Any resources I could use to determine the standard (vs. Mooney) part numbers for the tubing and the restrictor?

Inching closer to getting these parts acquired!

Ok, thanks to the above link, I now have all the parts for the mixture swivel kit except for the 550017-005 spacers (qty 2) and the 913022-9 washer.  LASAR appears to have the spacers, but I can't get their website to let me select a shipping option.  Will be calling them later this afternoon.

 

Anyone have any drawings or references that would help me with the Manifold Pressure tube and restrictor?

Also for future reference, the IPC does call out the same parts as the image in the thread above for the mixture control swivel:

 

[katzhome]

So it looks like I may have all of the parts from various sources as of today.   LASAR did have the 2 -005 spacers and the 913022-009 washer which finished off my mixture swivel kit.  Johnny at Arizona Air Salvage appears to have an assembly off an M20J engine that contains the Manifold Pressure tube and Restrictor.  I had been mis-reading the IPC and thought it was the tube (with the tiny vent hole) on the cabin side, but Items 13 and 14 are on the engine side.  Everything is in shipment, so then I'll take a look at get ready to take them over to Top Gun next week if all goes well.
