Jamildmc Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Hi guys! It’s me again with another question. The induction air boot is torn in my 1965 C model and it looks bad. Lasar has one for E and F model (600115-005) and my part number is 600115-3. Are those interchangable? MJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s a screenshot from an email at the time.

Jamildmc Posted January 26 Author Report Posted January 26 I reached out to LASAR, Texas air salvage and Frank at Mooney. Sounds like 600064-000 is the one that LASAR recommends for a C model and said that the 600115-005 was only for E and Fs. Mooney said differently. Frank wrote that the 600115-005 is a replacement for -3. Texas air salvage also said the same thing. I hope this helps everybody. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 180hp is 600064-000. The 200hp 600115-005. It sounds like he said the 600115-005 can replace the 600115-003 not 600064-000 3

When I spoke with Frank Crawford at Mooney a few years ago it sounded like a lot of the IPC's have been updated over the years and this would probably be one of them. Depending on how far you go back, you might not catch the amendments. But certainly points to owners needing to be just as educated as the shop where they're getting maintenance and what parts are being installed! Just changed my post looking at the prev again. Seems parts are getting confused. I would expect them to be quite different

In your original post the question was… On 1/23/2026 at 12:47 PM, Jamildmc said: The induction air boot is torn in my 1965 C model and it looks bad. Lasar has one for E and F model (600115-005) and my part number is 600115-3. Are those interchangable? If you have a 1965 C with the 180 hp Lycoming, the part number for your intake duct is 600064-000, not 600115-3. I’m not sure how you arrived at pn 600115-3 as the intake duct for a C model, but that is not correct. The E and F model use pn 600115-3 and -005. Frank Crawford is correct, pn 600115-005 will replace pn 600115-3. I think Frank misunderstood which model aircraft you had. If your C model had its engine replaced under STC and removed the 180 hp Lycoming and installed the 200 hp Lycoming, and have had the front cowl modified or replaced per the STC, then that might be an instance where the pn 600115-3/-005 intake duct might be applicable because you have in effect modified your aircraft to be an E model. I would have to review the STC or inspect an aircraft modified as such though to be certain. 2
Jamildmc Posted January 26 Author Report Posted January 26 Will a 201 windshield mod change the intake? I am still learning about the plane and it’s a C model, 180 hp, 201 windshield mod. 6000115-3 was provided by the mechanic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, the air intake is from the cowl, in front of the engine; the windshield is a couple of feet tailward from there.

Well, he might have some E/F model experience and didn’t realize the difference between the O-360 and IO-360 intake system(?). I hope he’s not learning ‘the Mooney way’ on your airplane. Not saying it can’t be done, but it takes a while to figure things out. Really, that applies to any airplane you don’t have experience on. Plenty of stories here about mechanics learning, sometimes the hard way. I hope he has access to gear preload tools… and knows how to use them. Top Gun is based at KSCK. They are very well regarded. No insult intended towards your current A&P.

Why do you say, "my part number is 600115-3"? Did you see it on the boot currently installed or in the logs? This is the source of the confusion because the Parts Catalog shows 600064-000 as the correct part for an M20C. (I see in your prior posts that you apparently have a RayJay turbo modification but that should not change your airbox and cowl.) The CG boots vs the EF boots are not remotely similar - the mounts are different - bolted plate vs slip on and strapped. Doesn't yours look like the bottom picture? The Mooney Parts Catalogs are in the "Downloads" Section.....(see link/download at bottom) Edited January 27 by 1980Mooney 1 1

It was up to 24° outside, but inside the hangar felt colder. For what it's worth, mine looks like the one marked "C G" in @1980Mooney's post above. Digging through my phone, though, I did find these. Hope it helps!
varlajo Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 Yep, 600155-3/005 in my E looks different for sure. 1
