Torn Brittain servo boot

[M20E for me]

Dynon just received approval for their autopilot but only for the J and K.  I talked to them and they are not going to seek certification for any other Mooney models so now I’m trying to get my B6 working again.  We did a leak check on all of the servos and 3 out of the six leak.  I was able to repair one with a little pro seal and should be able to repair another.  The third one is beyond repair and I need to replace it.  Does anyone have a spare they would like to sell?  I talked with Kevin and he gave me the info for the company that can manufacture replacement parts but they have a minimum order of ten and I guess the cost is north of $2K.  Anyone interested on going in on some replacements?  These are for the ailerons and rudder servos.

If not already done, suggest you reach out to Wentworth in MN.

I could be interested in a few….with 6 servos does that mean you have the elevator servos installed?

 

I’ve been trying to track one more down for myself…I’ve only been able to find one out in the wild so far.

Is that for new servos, or just new rubber boots to put on them? Shouldn't be hard to find several people to split an order, I'd like a couple new boots myself.

I have one extra spare seal or “boot” that was repaired with a rubber patch.  I wouldn’t mind having another new spare.

Yes, the elevator has two but they are larger than the aileron and rudder servos and are leak free.  The B6 has pitch/altitude hold.  If you count the step servo it would be 7.

That is just for the rubber boot.  I’ll contact the company Monday and see what they say.

Is the company Bellofram?

I might be interested in spare diaphragm. Keep in mind the step servo is different size then flight controls servos and harder to find the rubber boot.

Yes it is Bellofram in WV.  I’m waiting on a quote, should have it tomorrow.

Just FYI, there was thread about six months ago where another Mooney pilot was trying to round up enough interest to make the minimum buy.  You might be able to find that thread and POC.
