Owned my M20K Rocket for a few months now and have already put about 100hrs on it. That means I’m starting to get picky about the interior I’ve been staring at for 100hrs. One funny thing that bugs me are these home made door pull straps, just ugly in my opinion. Anyone have a good idea for a clean replacement? Another side note, I’ll be removing all the interior plastics to repair some small cracking here and there. Anyone have a good technique for repairing the plastic? And any good source of the metal foil interior placards? thanks!

Is this bird still available?

Did you have the doublers fabricated or were you able to find a kit? I’d like to get this SB done on my bird as well

give me a call if you’re free today 904-362-7645

Howdy! I’m selling a clean 79 J with no damage history and a 450hr motor. Needs some avionics but it’s a very solid bird if you’re still looking!

I’ve been doing some pretty extensive maintenance on this bird getting it up to my standards. I have removed every bit of interior (especially to clean the smell of cigarettes off it) and seen every inch of the steel structure. Fuel tanks are free of leaks, gear pucks are in great shape, and I’ve gone through every applicable SB, this is the only one outlying. First annual I spent two weeks cleaning the internal structure and addressing a lot of overlooked items. The bird isn’t 100% perfect but it’s getting there. I currently have no cracks so I’d rather install the single doubler than do the internal one as well and risk eventual damage to the rib. Just staying on top of a 1965 airplane, unfortunately a good amount of A&Ps don’t even reference the MM when doing an annual so I often see neglected birds, especially Mooneys unfortunately.

Ours isn't cracked, however I do prebuys on a fair amount of vintage Mooneys and see this problem far too often. Just trying to get ahead of it

Hello, my 65 M20E never received the doublers from M20-217 to address the cracking on the aft spar splice. I’m very familiar with the Mooneys and I’m an IA and would love to get these installed, but don’t know the dimensions of the doublers to fabricate them, nor can I find any for purchase. Does anyone have a good source for them or drawings I can produce them from? More than happy to just buy a set from someone if available! thanks!
