hoot777 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Posted March 23, 2023 Any sources of the two compression springs for the Manuel gear ? Can’t seem to locate any. Thanks Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted March 23, 2023 Report Posted March 23, 2023 What exactly are you talking about? There are a few in the gear system. What happened to the ones you have? Quote
kerry Posted March 23, 2023 Report Posted March 23, 2023 I saw a Mooney that had a gear up landing and when the belly pan was removed you could see the springs ground down from the payment. The airplane was repaired and put back into service without replacing the springs. I didn't say anything but I sure thought the springs should have been replaced. Do these springs break. With Mooney models going back to the late 50's I would think there would be spring failures. Quote

Shadrach Posted March 24, 2023 Report Posted March 24, 2023 https://safeskiesparts.com/products/mooney-m20-m20g-bungee-assembly-retracting-lh-rh-p-n-560138-501-0921-462 https://www.texasairsalvage.com/main_view.php?editid1=278797 Both Texas Air Salvage and Safe Skies have bungee assemblies in stock. The assembly from TAS is from an E model but the spring is the same. The safe skies is from a G model. I’d call them both as online inventory isn’t complete. I don’t know who’s searching for you but you’ll have better luck looking for bungee assemblies rather than the compression spring by itself. I found these two in less than a minute. 1 Quote
hoot777 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Report Posted March 30, 2023 Thanks. I’ve found some springs by put they have all seen a little concrete polishing I’ll call the two sources mentioned. I had talked with Texas Salvage before. As to the damage. It looks like a lot of guys just rotate the spring and hide the flattening. Maybe something to check on a pre buy. 1 Quote
