47U Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 This year I’m going through the main landing gear, stripping and painting. I noted that the right gear has a spacer (ind 31 below) sandwiched between the torque plate (ind 32) and the torque mount plate on the gear spindle (not shown). The left gear does not have this spacer. The IPC lists two spacer thicknesses, pn 510006-7 is .032” and pn 510006-9 is .063”. I looked through the mx manuals and couldn’t find any criteria on when to use which spacer, or when no spacer is required. I’m guessing the spacer’s purpose is to set the distance that the anchor bolts (ind 23) are inserted into the torque plate when the brakes are applied, to allow enough float in the caliper so the brakes pads don’t drag when the brakes are released and the caliper has free movement. I thought the spacer might be covered in the LASAR Brake Wheel Cylinder Rotation STC, but no mention there. I supposed Mooney has a print that gives the spec on spacer usage. Or maybe I’m wrong in what the spacer is for? Does anyone out there know? Thanks in advance.

Can you tell me what is the criteria to know when to use which spacer, or no spacer at all? From where are the measurements taken?
