914081-003 Bushings Needed

[AerostarDriver]

I am on the hunt for 2x 914081-003, Mooney has a 14 week lead time, once approved, and I have been waiting for approval since July. Anyone happen to have a set or have an idea on where to source them?

What are they?

They are the bushings which the tail pivots on. They are also not just a regular bushing but rather a steel bushing which is over machined and then chrome plated back up to final dimension.

Be sure to use "close tolerance"  bolts when you reassemble. NOT just ordinary AN bolts

IF you had play in the tail in excess of the small amount allowed be sure it was not just from using regular AN bolts!

I have found a couple of airplanes out of tolerance for the wiggle and it turned out they had plain AN bolts in the hinge bushings instead of the required "close tolerance" bolts.
