Rear Cowl Flap Motor (610521-0201) wanted

I'm in search of a replacement rear cowl flap motor (p/n 610501-0201) for my 1974 Pressurized Skymaster T337G.

if you know of one that's available, please let me know. Alternatively, if there's someone who is good at fixing such things, that might be an option too.

Thanks

Dan

Can txt me at 808-347-3069 if you like.

Give Matt at MaxQ Composits a call. 207.408.4965 or email matt@maxqcomposites.com. He works on them for a very reasonable price and has an alternate motor (not FAA approved) as well. I have used him 2 times with great results. There have been postings about him and by him on this site in the past as well.

Dan, the cowl flap motor is a simple DC motor. If you search this site, you'll find resources to have them rebuilt very inexpensively, albeit not via an FAA repair station.

I think it would be foolish for a Skymaster owner to pay the outrageous prices that are being asked for certified cowl flap motors. To me, its not a safety-critical part, so I'm happy to save $1500+ and have it repaired by a local DC motor shop.

Search for "alternator repair" near you if you don't find a "DC motor repair". Lots of times they fix dc motors as well. Same equipment required. YMMV.
