Fuel Guage Stick...New Throttle, Mixture, Prop Knobs

[Aluminum Falcon]

Good Afternoon All,

 

I'm buying a 20C.  Paperwork is being drawn up and sales agreement signed.  I've noticed looking at different places.  It seems that there are no guage sticks for Mooney.  I am aware and know how to make one but it could be an issue as I don't have a hanger.  Just checking to see if anyone has found one.  

 

Also aware that the next in not crazy relivant...but I was looking for the replacement knobs.  Maybe a nice looking upgrade to the present control knobs?  Any leads?  Thanks everyone.  I'm looking forward to chatting with you.  Fly Safe!!

Before I could afford a hangar, my M20C sat on the ramp in Columbus, Ohio for 30 years.  If you need tips on how to preserve a ramp Mooney, let me know.

If you have the all-metal original factory throttle, mixture, and prop controls, unless there are problems that graphite lube won't solve, the only one I'd recommend replacing would be the prop control.  I tried painting the throttle and mixture controls.  Mixture control looks great.  The throttle control doesn't take paint well since it's handled too much so I ended up peeling the paint back off.

Replacements should be easy to find. Just search this forum for "vernier."

Some people prefer red for the prop control and blue for mixture; not sure if there's a standard color scheme?
