M20K-261 Thunderbird STC

[Todd423]

good morning all! I've recently been tasked with some repairs on an M20J-231/261. I'm beginning to understand the history of the conversion, but have yet to see the actual STC.  I'm currently looking for an induction airbox canister for the Turbo.....

Welcome to Mooneyspace.

How is a M20K (261) a Vintage (Pre-J) model? It should be under Modern Mooneys.

 

You're not going to find a new part to replace that. Someone will have to repair it, if that's what it needs, or fabricate it (owner produced part).

Yes. Understood. Just reposted there.

I think the J’s should now be moved to vintage. It’s about time to include all the 4 cylinder Monney’s into Vintage.

What is wrong with your canaster?

The mounting flange has cracked nearly all the way around. Someone attempted a welding repair and butchered it.
