Mark89114 Posted December 2 Report Posted December 2 Maybe I am out of touch or LASAR took over aircraft spruce pricing model. Just seems like a lot. Didn't do any comparison shopping.
N201MKTurbo Posted December 2 Report Posted December 2 Here is a better deal https://www.univair.com/hardware/camloc/2600-2w-camloc-wing-stud 1
redbaron1982 Posted December 2 Report Posted December 2 This is one is another one that seems way overprices. I'm missing 4 or 5... that $250... crazy
Shadrach Posted December 2 Report Posted December 2 We are in a paradigm shift in general aviation...getting less for more is the new norm. Pricing has spiked across the board, but at least things are taking a lot longer. 3 1
PT20J Posted December 2 Report Posted December 2 A lot of Camloc products have gotten crazy expensive. I usually buy Skybolt now. 1 1
47U Posted December 2 Report Posted December 2 This one bit me a couple years ago, except then it was only $20… for a nut plate. Ironic, the all-metal corner nut plates are about $2.
LANCECASPER Posted December 2 Report Posted December 2 Surely this price isn’t correct? Unfortunately I think it is correct. But that still doesn’t give you the right to call me Surely 2

From the M20J IPC: 3. BOLT 914004-000 IS MODIFIED NAS1309-28. MACHINE TOLERANCES ON LEG ASSEMBLY EARS MAY CREATE REQUIREMENT FOR A 914004-001 BOLT (MODIFIED NAS1309-30) OR A 914004-003 BOLT (MODIFIED NAS6609-32). PROVIDE LENGTH OF BOLT TO BE REPLACED WHEN ORDERING SPARES.

Jackk Posted December 3 Report Posted December 3 If people will pay it Also hasn’t most of the GA fleet been sold off to chinese companies these days? Seems kinda strategic
Yetti Posted December 3 Report Posted December 3 I am finding ebay better and better for common airplane parts. $6.95 for the camloc https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=2600-2w+camloc
00-Negative Posted December 3 Report Posted December 3 I mentioned the seat rollers going from $10.64 in 2024 to $116.57 in October 2025 in another thread recently. I guess the fine folks at LASAR read that thread and didn't like us complaining and want to teach us a lesson. They have since raised the price even higher to $139.89 per each seat roller. What LASAR is doing here is absolutely harmful to the Mooney community and I believe that any financial contribution to them only contributes to making Mooney parts harder to obtain. -David 2 1

In the something that will never need to be replaced category. that said "modified" means regular bolt ground off slowly to not mess with temper and clean up with file.

I'm missing 4 or 5... that $250... crazy Fun fact it looks like the Mooneys that got static wicks were the ones that had lightening detectors on them. The problem with removing them is then there is a hole in your flight control surface.

I thought flying IMC could build up static and affects COMs/NAVs radios. 1

The clean airframe keeps the static down in the Mooney. my 75 F did not have them

I thought flying IMC could build up static and affects COMs/NAVs radios. Anyone ever seen "St Elmo's Fire" all over the airplane in heavy dry snow at altitude? Static electricity takes on a new dimension when that happens :-) If it came with static wicks from the factory they are probably part of the TC and they all need to be there to be "technically" legal I've said several times that parts pricing today is based on what a new airplane TODAY will cost @ 1 MILLION $$$$$ NOT the $45,000 in the 70s What did a Ford F-150 cost in 1975 compared to today? Have you priced Ford parts lately? 1
