Mooney Ovation Wing Fuel Gauge

[Dale]

I have a damaged wing fuel tank gauge on the passenger side fuel tank.  I have a 2007 Mooney Ovation 3.  Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement.  My shop says they are having a hard time finding one.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

You can only order them through a Mooney Service Center.  The vendor is still around, but they will not sell directly to us.  Maxwell might have some on the shelf...he's usually my first call for parts.  They're not terribly expensive, and they're just siliconed in place.  The needle is driven by a magnet at the top of the sending unit inside the wing.

bas aviation has a totaled bravo and ovation. I'd call there first.

I needed one a few months ago and couldn't find any in stock, not from Lasar and not from the factory. If you find a source please post it here so that I can stock up on a few.

The factory has these on order, but they have not arrived yet.  $130/ea.

@Dale - I have two from my previous Ovation that are used (no damage or “ugly” wear or cracking to the inside or outside…just some slight fogging that happened to them both over time that I wasn’t happy with), and I decided to replace them before I sold that airplane.  They are indeed serviceable, but might just need to be re-sealed somehow to prevent the fogging.  If interested, just pay me for shipping, and you can have them no charge.  PM me if interested.

I need them for a J model, sorry, I should have mentioned that.
