64 M20C Turn/Slip replacement

[BellSouth.net News]

Looking for options to replace the original factory Turn/Slip in a 64 M20C.
It seems to have a volt meter in it. So is there any specific requirement
to replace it with a specific TC? Would prefer a TC as opposed to
Turn/Slip. If someone has done it and can point me to the manufacture/part
number, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance, I'll assume it has to be
TSO'd whatever it is replaced with?

I don't know what can legally be used in general.

When I put in a STEC50 A/P a replacement TC was part of the STC, so that
was legal.

One thing you have to watch out for, which your shop should know, is that
the original TS's in the older Mooney's were specially built to be mounted
on that angled panel (I think it's a 30° angle). So if you get something
not so constructed, you'll need some standoffs so it will mount vertically
-- which may look funny. Or you could fabricate a new instrument panel for
that half of the cockpit -- which is what I did when installing the STEC.

STEC may now make an a/p which can replace the T/S (not sure about this).
Again, it likely would need to be mounted vertically.

Ron,

Thanks, the one that is in this mooney, already has a wedge shim to keep it
vertical. We are most likely going to do a "lasar" panel on that side. I
suppose I should drop them a note, perhaps they have it as a part of their
documentation to cover a more standard TC.

Thanks,
Alan

That may depend on where you live. When I installed instruments in my Maule, the
Teterboro FSDO required one of three things. The new instrument could be on the
manufacturer's original equipment list, in which case a logbook entry was required,
it could be STC'd for the aircraft, in which case a logbook entry and 337 was
required, or you could provide engineering specs to prove that it was safe to
install, in which case a logbook entry, 337, and field inspection was required. That
was back in '96; things may have changed.
