tkubat06 Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Airplane: ‘66 E Does anyone know if there is a replacement available for this swivel joint at the end of my propeller cable? It popped loose today during my run up. I had an A&P take a quick look and said it looked worn out. I plan to get it pulled off to be sure but am curious is there is a more modern replacement available. There is a ball on the other side of that castle nut that inserts into that hole in the link above. Thanks! p.s. The cotter pin is bent like that because I was in the process of removing it when it took the pic.

Guest Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 They can be replaced with a standard Heim style rod end bearing, a bolt, nut and cotter pin. There is a kit from Mooney for this. By the way, that looks more like your propeller governor, not your throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 For the prop control, from the J model IPC. This could be the basis for fixing your plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkubat06 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Ok, so I contacted LASAR and highly recommend Mooney Mechanic. LASAR sells a kit to replace this old ball joint connection with a Heim fitting (kit 660051-005), and it's $215. The equivalent list of components from Aircraft Spruce are $20 and they are - Heim Bushing: MW-3M - Drilled Bolt: AN3C-11 - Spacer (not needed if you use washers): 550017-005 - Washer: AW960-10 - Nut: AW310-3 - Cotter Pin: AW380-2-2 You should OF COURSE buy the $215 kit. :-) Attached is a picture of the Heim fitting for reference.
