Looking for nose gear truss, part # 940042-503

[JackM20M]

Forgive posting here but I'm not able to post anything in the trading post forum. Not sure why but am sure there's a logical explanation

We have an Ovation in need of a new nose gear truss, part number 940042-503. Our director of maintenance has scoured high and low and has yet to find one so I thought I'd post here.  If anyone has one for sale or possible leads, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jack

To post in the trading post you need to be a supporter.

Not sure if LASAR is still rebuilding them but it's a possibility

If I was you I'd call Dan at LASAR in parts and he should have ideas for you.

Are you sure that is the right part number? I don't find a 940042-503 in the M20R IPC. It is listed in the M20J IPC as a retrofit kit. I think the part you want is a gear leg 540004-509. The gear leg is the part that has the stops on it and is what usually gets damaged from oversteering. Mooney made a batch of those (eight, I think) back in May.

@JackM20M Call Specialized Aero in San Marcos, TX

lead time for Mooney is probably around 12 weeks to build one.  LASAR can rebuild yours in about 6 weeks but none in stock.  But I believe Specialized has a few on the shelf.

I've utilized Specialized for a truss with great results.
