I think what Joe needs is some front money from those claiming to be interested. I ran into the same problem after stopping manufacture of the oil filter system for the E engine.

A number of people contacted me wanting to "get on the list." I said I would manufacture another 100 if I could get 25 paid orders. Didn't see one dollar out of that. I would have been able to supply the units within 60 days after getting the 25th order. Too late now since I gave up my PMA and will not attempt to get it renewed.

Any how, send Joe some money and I would bet the job gets done.

Posted: Feb 01 2012 at 10:47

I am looking for the wheel half BOLT part number for Cleveland wheels on a V35B. At my next annual I'll change a tire and thought this would be a good time to replace the bolts. I can't seem to find an appropriate reference. Does anyone have a parts breakout for the 7.00 X 6 wheels?

I can ad to this thread - I have a 53 D which did not have the louvered panels. I purchased a parts plane to replace my E225, and the parts plane had the louvered panels.

I thought - I will go ahead and use these since they must be cooler for the engine ( im based in Vegas and it gets very hot here ) after flying the bird for about 30 hours with the louvered panels I went to an ABS inspection. They told me the engine will cool better with the orginal panels. I have an EGT and when I put the originals back on, the temps went down across the board. Go figure....
Now Im selling the louvered cowl panels if anyone needs them ;-)

Subject: E225 engine overhaul or replacement
Posted: Feb 01 2012 at 00:10

I was lucky to find a parts plane that had a low time E225, and a hydrolic prop. I sold the airframe and the prop and kept my 215 prop. It turned out pretty good for me. I was lucky - I found the parts plane on Ebay and the seller owned an FBO that went out of business because they lost the lease. He had the plane because he was going to redo the interior but after they lost the lease he decided to just sell it.

Then I was able to sell my old engine. SO I replaced everything firewall forward, except the prop.

Henry I have a 1954 s/n D3777 Bonanza with a nicked electric prop and have decided to overhaul it. I am 700 hours from TBO so I am starting to think about what to do. I am curious what you decided to do with your engine?

Gentlemen,

I have recently purchased 1962 P35. I would like to rebuild the landing gear system and overhaul all of the rod ends, grease fittings, bearings etc. Is there a good contact for buying all of the parts required? Or do I look around the internet to piece meal it?

thanks folks.

James,
Randy has not quoted me a price as yet. Just a casual phone conversation. More to come. I will post the numbers.

Posted: Jan 29 2012 at 18:29

I would be interested in what caused the engine driven pump to fail on Mr. Dunn's airplane. Also, the make of the pump and the operation time since the last inspection of the pump.

Also, the inspiration for using the wobble pump after engine driven pump failure is somewhat derived from the terrain below.
