New M20E owner looking for modern yokes

[64M]

Hi-

Purchased a 66 M20E late last year and am getting prepared to do some avionics upgrades. Seems it is usually the case that folks switch out the vintage yokes for model J or other more modern style yokes that can accommodate trim switches etc. Started asking / looking around for a pair of decent used yokes, shafts, and the other parts but haven't tracked anything down yet. Anyone know of a resource to contact for these? 

Thanks.

You can find them on the shelf in between the Holy Grail and the map pinpointing Jimmy Hoffa’s location.

They are hard to come by. Mooney will sell you the kit for $6300. I would start with the salvage companies, Alan Fox and Jerry Pressley. The latter two can be PMd on this site.

I've got a pilot yoke and shaft from a J, but haven't found a copilot one yet... I was hoping to find it and sell the pair, but if you find a copilot by itself I'll sell this one.

If you find some, make sure they match your particular airframe for length and connecting hardware at the back end.  Mooney made different yoke length shafts over the years, and the connecting hardware at the back changed configuration as well.  You can't just grab whatever salvage J-style yokes are available, and expect them to drop right in to your older airframe.

+1 I recently went on a hunt for them after I found out my stock yokes were cracked. I couldn't find any yokes, but for my E, which is incompatible with the shafts, it really came down to needing new shafts from Mooney. Last I heard they were $1k each and 15wk turn around for the shafts alone, and that just put it over the line on worth the upgrade for me personally.

If you can find the more modern yokes you get the added benefit of getting rid of the 500 hour AD on the older control shafts.

Thanks folks for the info. Will spend some time chasing down leads and coming up to speed on the details.

BAS out here in Greeley, CO has a warehouse full of salvage parts.  You might try seeing if they have something that might work.

(I have no affiliation with BAS other than they are on the field for me and have helped me out with information before)
