Cherokee alternator bracket replacement

: do you need the one for an airconditioned 140?
: (lots of those around - I could probably dig mine up).

No, this one doesn't have A/C. After spending the whole morning calling up a
bunch of places, I'm pretty sure the correct part is 65199-00, which has been
superceeded by 65199-005. Most places don't have any in stock (big surprise). It
doesn't seem like it matters whether it's an O-320 or O-360, though. One piper place
I called suggested getting ahold of Lycoming. The two brackets they spec for an
O-360-A3A (07A21443 and 07A19474) seem to be for Ford and Prestolite alternators,
resp.... probably won't work for the Chrysler that Piper used.

A/C in a -140? Ughh... no wonder there aren't many left. They're doggy
enough without an additional 20 lbs and hp loss.

Cory,
Try Mark at Westex, tell him I refered you. He also sells piper parts
manuals & CD's so he should know the correct part number. He's also got a
lot of NOS Piper parts so he may have one in stock.

20lbs. for air conditioning? Try 67lbs.
