Retractable step servo seal #1551 source?

[brownm]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Does anyone know where I could get a #1551 servo seal for the retractable step? Mine currently has a hole in it. I've tried Mooney, Brittain, and Preferred Air Part without success. I understand there are electrical replacement servos available, but I'd really prefer just to get my current servo functional.

Thanks, Michael

You see used ones on here on occasion…. I found 2 NOS 5 or 6 years ago, it turns out that it is the same servo used on Beechcraft QueenAirs Yaw Dampener, when Brittain  couldn’t get them produced Beech sourced them through someone else… I’ll try and find the post I wrote back then which has the Beech part number

Thanks, that would be helpful. I did get a #2007-1 seal because I'd read that it was the same part. It isn't.

Can’t find my original post (I seem to remember MS losing some post a while back?). Brittian might have the Beech part # seeing how they use to produce it, or find an IPC for a queeny

People have been known to make a repair to that boot using a high quality electrical tape.   It’s not always an option but it does work if the situation allows it.   Mine has tape on it now, although I purchased the electrical step conversion so it’s about to get replaced.

If you really want vacuum boot assembly. I have one for you. Am sure plenty others Mooney owners that have them, ready to part with. Like many others have done auto step flight enhancements electric actuator.
