I know... the rubber ones are crap, they fail every 30 years or so. Its hard to get good stuff these days.

They don't make 'em like they used to.  I was forced to replace the crappy factory tires on my Prius way too early -- they only went 90,000 miles.  I guess I could have pushed to 100,000, but I'm a chicken.

I believe issue is also unnecessary removal of lower cowl for annual inspection and such. Years ago, i convinced my IA to stop removing it during owner assist annuals and (repaired) duct is holding just fine, thank you very much.

When I had my 67F, that lower cowl only came off when it had to. Too much of a PITA to take it off for no reason. If you do take it off take the boot lose from the servo, it is much less traumatic on the boot and easier to get to.

That'll work too.

I bet Gee Bee would make them, except they would be silicone instead of rubber.

He offered to start the process a while back….

His business really knows this application…

All of the Mooneys could benefit from a new modern product…

Failure of this old style product is essentially guaranteed… they just don’t last forever… 30 years is close, just not infinite… :)

People will gladly move to a modern design…. Because when they fail… dirt gets sucked in for a long time before a hole gets noticed at annual…

Best regards,
