201 Cowl, McCauley prop and 201 exhaust, for sale

[testwest]

Hi everyone

We have modified our 1977 M20J with a Lopresti cowl, Hartzell blended airfoil prop and Powerflow exhaust, so we have the stock M20J cowl, McCauley prop and stock exhaust system (drilled for 4-cylinder EGT) for sale. Best offer for one or all, they are currently located in Mojave, California. Edit: OK guys, first $1900 for a Mooney 201 cowl located in Mojave CA takes it, you come and pick it up.  norman.e.howell (at) boeing dot com  I spelled it out to defeat the spam-bots!

Have you seen any performance improvement from the new cowl and prop?

Hi Folks C-FVWP  20E here and I have always wondered if a 201 cowling could be retrofitted to my 20E. Currently I have a lower cowl cover which I consider to be half way to a good idea. If the cowling above  can be retrofitted I certainly would be nterested. ANy thoughts would be wecome

Hi Philip

Take a look at Top Gun Aviation's conversion of a 1969 F model with the 201 cowling, the web site is here:

Also go up a level and look at the other pages on the site detailing the ongoing mods to their F, it is really nice. Here is their contact info: Mark Rouch  mark at topgunaviation dot net and Tom Richardi  menace at topgunaviation dot net 

Looked at your plane in the gallery, very classy.

We also have the intake air box and a few other bits you would need that were removed for our Lopresti cowl. Thanks!

Prop SOLD! Cowl. spinner, intake airbox, ram air valve, exhaust and nose gear doors still available.

How much for just the cowl flaps?  One of mine has a very small hole chaffed in the fiberglass from the exhaust pipe at some point in its 7100 hour life......maybe it's repairable though...

[testwest]

Sorry, Parker, I am not interested in removing and selling the cowl flaps separately. Selling you just the cowl flaps would make the remaining cowl virtually unsellable. The entire package that was removed for the Lopresti cowl mod is worth far more as a whole to someone who wants to upgrade a 200hp E or F to a 201-style front end. You may have better luck at a salvage yard, Dawson Aircraft in particular has a pretty nice searchable web site.

If someone wants to make a decent offer for the cowl, spinner/backplate, intake airbox(less alternate air valve, that part is reused for the Lopresti upgrade), ram air valve and nose gear doors as a package just PM or email me!  Thanks.

Parker,

Your cowl flaps are made out of fiberglass?  That's interesting.  Mine are aluminum.

You can however use fiberglass to fix/patch a crack, chip or bite in aluminum.  A friend did that to a bite in his inner gear door about 7 years ago, and it still looks great. Maybe a previous owner did the same to your cowl flap, Parker.
