druidjaidan Posted September 22 Report Posted September 22 TSIO-360-GB. Local mechanic says "they are rare but we can get them in, I won't do the inspection as I've never seen one pass we only replace them". My normal mechanic says he's had it on backorder for me for over a year and has signed off two annuals with it. I'm due again soon for the recurring, and I want to do my own due diligence on the part lookup. My logs indicate the part number should be 646534 (when it was last replaced). Continental doesn't show any superseded part numbers so that means it's the right part? They list Boeing as the supplier (with no supply of course). Spruce has it as "special order". I know these things are apparently completely unobtanium, but I want to make sure of that before I firmly tell the local mechanic to go pound sand. I'd also like to get my hands on one before it inevitably fails an inspection.

There’s a version from RAM that has also worked for some people. they did extend the AD, but you better read it carefully to make sure you meet the requirements for continued inspection.
druidjaidan Posted September 23 Author Report Posted September 23 There's so many part numbers involved and it's highly unclear to me what makes a compatible v-band or not. My part number is 646534 (at least according to the last replacement log). That RAM one seems to be a replacement for 653332. The mooneyspace thread says it works with GB and LB engines, but the RAM PMA only indicates the -LB engine. The parts catalog doesn't seem to help, and it seems like there are a ton of versions of this clamp =/
