Tracker Posted Saturday at 08:42 PM Report Posted Saturday at 08:42 PM Another question: Has any one had any luck sourcing the fuel gauge that readable on the ground on the walk around for the M20R. Can gauges from other models be used. Mine fell out some time ago, I hope it did not hit anyone one! My service center can't find a replacement. Mooney was not helpful.
KSMooniac Posted Saturday at 08:47 PM Report Posted Saturday at 08:47 PM Unfortunately they're a Mooney-only item. The manufacturer is still around, but only sells to Mooney so the best you can do is get on a list and hope/wait. Call Maxwell or LASAR or other major service center.
Marc_B Posted Saturday at 09:33 PM Report Posted Saturday at 09:33 PM Rochester Dial doesn't only sell to Mooney. Many various resellers carry Rochester dials but you have a minimum order with them. i.e. Aircraft Spruce can special order these but that requires a minimum order of 10 dials. But last I heard, Houston Tank Specialists may have some. Last I checked with WeepNoMore/Oasis they were out. 1

I called Rochester Sensors (current business name) back in May 2024 and talked to Cheryl Manning. She said that they would not sell retail -- I would have to order from a distributor. Attached is the distributor list she emailed me. The hitch is that you have to know the part number which is not the number on the dial face but is (in)conveniently located on the back of the gauge. Someone posted that 5404S02105 is the part number for the M20J gauge. Referral List.pdf 1
GeeBee Posted Sunday at 12:27 AM Report Posted Sunday at 12:27 AM Lasar now has them in stock. 165 per unit I believe. I bought two for stock last month. 1
Marc_B Posted Sunday at 01:40 AM Report Posted Sunday at 01:40 AM For future reference: dial face 5-1932 (on my M20K) is Rochester 5404 S 01932. 1

Marc_B Posted Sunday at 04:36 PM Report Posted Sunday at 04:36 PM You can special order these from Aircraft Spruce but minimum order is 10. By the time you factor in shipping and special order price they come out to just under $70 each.
