JD 27V Posted April 24 Report Posted April 24 The fuselage-mounted pin that holds the door closed at the top of the entry on our F model has been bent/broken. The pin itself is ok, but the piece of the frame it is attached to was bent/cracked. Can this be welded or jointed back in place? If a new pin is needed, does anyone know where to get those? TIA for any tips. -JD
PT20J Posted April 24 Report Posted April 24 Does it look like this? If so, you could call a MSC to see if Mooney has any in stock or check with places that sell used parts. Also, it wouldn’t be difficult for an A&P or machine shop to fabricate one using the original as a template thus creating an owner produced part.
47U Posted April 24 Report Posted April 24 I think this bird is a 1974, so the upper catch is a hook that captures a vertical pin. Not a very good picture…
