Another $25 - Alternate Static Valve picture

[testwest]

You'll earn this one, I need pictures of the install of the panel mounted alternate static valve from the back....on an M20J that has the 4 rocker switches left of the pilots control column. Ours only has two switches (the master and the avionics master) and I want to add a third rocker for our Aspen (it will be labeled EFIS POWER and look just like the other switches....a Klixon 20TC2-7.5 to be exact).

However, on our airplane the alternate static valve is mounted sideways and the fittings would interfere with any switch bodies aft of the panel other than the two originals. And yet, later M20Js have 4 rockers there and the alt static valve right next to that. All the part numbers are the same and the parts diagram does not show a vertical mount........

So $25 via Paypal for the first usable pictures of that installation, the higher-def the better. No pictures of the late install of the alt static down by the nose gear box, puh leeze!

Here's another - this is from my K, post Aspen upgrade, so things have moved around slightly from stock.

Thanks a whole lot to Peter and Scott McCray!!!!

Not only did they get the shots I needed, Scott sent me a baker's dozen highly detailed shots of the alternate static valve on his airplane.

So, the early M20Js mount that valve directly to the back of the instrument panel, and they only have two rocker switches to the left of it, namely the master switch and the avionics master switch/circuit breaker. Later versions have up to four rocker switches in that location, so Mooney got a longer actuating shaft for the valve and mounted it a couple inches forward on longer screws and standoffs to make room for more switches.

We are doing an Aspen upgrade on ours, and need to put in an "EFIS Power" rocker sw/cb next to the Avionics Master to run it. Guess what, Mooney has dedicated "EFIS Power" rockers available, 8 amp, just right. The black ones are in stock and the white ones are 5 weeks ARO. Got it thru Dan at LASAR, they are doing great work there, and deserve your business! Less than $200 for a switch that looks like the others, instead of some of the kludge jobs I see on other installs out there.

But to get that, we have to go to the later config on the alternate static valve. Now I have all the answers I need to make that happen, just for the nominal cost of a future beer (or 6) for my buds here.

Mooneyspace is GRRRRREAT!!!!!

you are going to love the Aspen panel.

I've got 3 hours on mine. the display is great.

Peter, congress just passed the FAA bill, time to prioritize that ADS-B interface. We are waiting...........

I know, dude, that is just awesome!

I'll pay it forward in info and pictures of our upgrade. I am making the new instrument panel myself, the material is 6061-T6 aluminum of .100" thickness, mounted on 10 mounts like the Lord mounts except allowing for flush screws instead of the acorn nuts, etc etc. Stand By!
