‘65 M20E, Looking for Flap and Trim indicator cables.

[hobbit64]

Does anyone here have a spare set of flap and pitch trim indicator cables? Or have an idea of whom to contact in my search for them?

I’m looking for #43 & #46 in the attached picture  

Thanks!

Thank Robert, I gave them a call. No luck this time but now I know another place to look in the future for other parts

I bet McFarlane could make you one.

Do you need the whole cable, or just the inner wire? It's nothing special...you could match diameter from a supply place like Grainger or similar and just fish the new one thru the housing.

For pre-flown parts… (flap and trim indicators)

We need the whole cables.  Seems the inner wires are binding

You can buy bowden cable by the foot from AS:

Also, McMaster Carr has Bowden cable cut to length.  Might be prudent to compare pricing.

It’s not just a Bowden cable, it has a custom end where it mounts to the trim wheel gear box.

Thanks for the correction… it is indeed a custom end at the trim wheel.

Yeah, that's gonna be McFarlane or McMaster...

These are hard to find.  You may find someone to make it.  The later years did away with the threaded end, but the threaded end is more secure.

There were about $750.00 each if you could find one.  

I may have one for a short body which I chose to keep due to their rarity.  It may be too short for my F in which case I might be enticed to sell it.

I'll look and see if it is really usable as a spare for my F.

Thanks! Please let me know.

 

We've contacted McFarlane and I think that is the route I will go.
