Txbyker Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I am going to have a new Zeftronics Voltage Regulator put in to see if it clears up my radio static. I have read the manual but am unable to determine where it is located. Can anyone confirm its location in a 1987 M20J? I think perhaps under the glareshield, right side. Thanks. Quote
Ned Gravel Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Russ: Other than the fact that the picture below is for a Zeftronics Generator Control Unit on my aircraft, I believe we have the same setup. Clarence is changing my generator over for the Plane Power Conversion as I write this. Note the brass-coloured box with the fins on the top left of the picture? That is it. I believe that is the exact same location as the Voltage Regulator for an alternator setup on the J model. Edit: Looks like owners of J's have answered your question and I (it appears) was wrong. Apologies. Quote
HopePilot Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 On my 1978 m20j, it is on the right side, behind the cb's stuffed behind the side panel. Lee Quote

201er Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I had mine recently changed on a '78 J. Not where the previous posters mentioned. Mine is in the copilot side foot bay on the right side wall on the inside. The screws come in from the outside wall and someone had to hold from outside so the person inside could undo the nuts. Not sure if this is a non-standard setup but just sharing from recent experience. Quote
201er Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Quote: JimR I remember now that there are two flush exterior screws on the side of the fuselage a few inches above the co-pilot's side air vent that hold it on. Does that sound the same as yours, Mike? Jim Quote
OR75 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I had the same question a while ago. I still don't know where the voltage regulator is ... http://www.mooneyspace.com/index.cfm?mainaction=posts&forumid=2&threadid=1499 Quote
Jeff_S Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Just had mine done over Christmas. It was also on the co-pilot's side, tucked right under the panel and pretty easy to get to. BTW, that photo from the second poster doesn't look ANYTHING like my VR, nor does it look like the Zeftronics unit that replaces it. But maybe I have a different model for some reason. Quote
