JackM20M Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 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

LANCECASPER Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 Not sure if LASAR is still rebuilding them but it's a possibility https://lasar.com/chassis/nose-truss-retrofit-truss-kit-940042-503 If I was you I'd call Dan at LASAR in parts and he should have ideas for you.

Thanks, Jack 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. Skip
Marc_B Posted October 30, 2023 Report Posted October 30, 2023 @JackM20M Call Specialized Aero in San Marcos, TX http://specializedaero.com/aircraft-parts/ 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.
