Correct engine mount for '70 M20F

[MikeOH]

Parker/Lord application guide says 4 each J9613-12

Mooney IPC shows 4 each J9612-8 and 4 each J7763-1

So, it looks like the J9613-12 is made up of both sides but I can't seem to confirm they are J9612-8 and J7763-1 or??

Does anyone have a cite to know for sure if the J9613-12 is correct?

TIA

Call Herber Aircraft.  They are a Lord distributor and consistently have the best pricing on Lord products. Their parts people are very good and will be able to help. A bonus for you is that they are in El Segundo.

@Shadrach

Thank you! I'll give 'em a call tomorrow.

OK, I called Herber and they couldn't answer the question...but, they gave me Parker/Lord's phone: 877-275-5673.

As suspected, the J9613-12 is an assembly number; each containing the J9612-8 and the J7763-1.  Unfortunately, they could not provide any direct documentation for that.  However, they pointed out that each part is marked with its part number; so, no real issue.  Just have to verify the correct parts that match the Mooney maintenance manual part numbers come in the J9613-12 'kit'.

I tried to find Parker/Lord's technical support number for my previous post but could not find it online.  Did you get pricing from Herber?

The phone number that I put in my earlier post got me to someone at Lord that answered my question, but not sure how 'technical' they were.  Basically, they did a 'where used' in their inventory system using the two Mooney part numbers and both came back as 'used on' the J9613-12.

No, I have not called Herber back to ask pricing now that I know the J9613-12 is the correct part number.  I will repost after I have the price.

I did find the J9613-12 online from Airpower for $192.63; Spruce wants $243.75

When I bought new shock discs in 2022, they were $101 each through Herber. All online stock was listed at $165 or more.

Ugh.  No, overcome by other events and haven't called them back!

Need to as annual is coming up end of May and I wanted to have them in hand before then.

@Shadrach

Herber wants $239.44 each plus 3% credit card fee plus you have to have shipping account with a carrier; they won’t bill the shipping!

Looks like AirPower is lowest at $192.63 and doesn’t penalize you for using a credit card.

Thanks! Good to know. I am betting there's a reasonable chance they would have price matched if you'd asked.  Not close enough for you to go in and write a check or was the stock not in El Segundo?  I have a corporate FedEx and PS account, but I do not recall having to use them.  I'll have to review the invoice to see if that policy is new.  I recall the 3% but the price delta from the next most competitive seller ($101 vs $138 each) was so large that that the 3% transaction fee of $33 on 11 shock discs was a no brainer.

They were willing to do will-call but can’t handle payment at the time of pick up; need to pay in advance and I suspect they’d wait until the check cleared before releasing product. If AirPower’s shipping is exorbitant I may call Herber back and see if they’ll match price and if the 3% credit card fee factored in results in lower overall.
