How about sending a picture of the dent?

It's still on Controller: http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/MOONEY-M20K-231/1979-MOONEY-M20K-231/1326523.htm

I got 4 Teledyne Alphabeam normally $275 each through Spruce for $255 each on Black Friday. They would probably do the same anytime if you called them up.

The most effective thing that VG's do is remove $1500-$2000 from your wallet which decreases your sink rate on short final.

I had mine done in December 2014. It was $6750 to Bob Minnis for the STC. I took my prop governor along with $912 to Navajo accessories to rebuild it and replace with the upgraded spring. I have a JPI-EDM930 which needed to be reprogrammed instead of buying a new tach. There was a few hundred dollars to my A&P/IA to do this. I already had the prop also. I think it was a shade over $8000 total for the upgrade.

I first went with the original Whelen Parmetheus and they were no brighter than the incandescent, just drew much less current. Since the airport that I used to base at had a lot of deer at night I sold the Whelens and bought the Teledyne Alphabeams - well worth the difference!
-
I put Teledyne Alphabeam Taxi/Landing lights in my M20R and the brightness is amazing. In your case, the low current draw is also great for 14v airplanes. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/teledynelandinglight.php?clickkey=5657

Brian Kendrick is another great option. He used to work at Mooney and still lives in Kerrville. He knows Mooneys inside out and does great work on these airplanes. He is mobile and can come to you or he also works independently out of San Marcos. His number is (830)370-1190. http://www.mooneysupport.net/2.html

Don't ruin the beauty and function of that laminar flow wing with VG's. It will handle slow flight just fine with good instruction and practice.

Looks like it is: http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/MOONEY-M20K-231/1979-MOONEY-M20K-231/1326523.htm

I admit I like all things Apple. I have an iPhone 6+, iPad Air, Macbook Pro, but I still like the Garmin 796/GDL 39 3D best for the cockpit. I mount it at the top of my compass post (RAM-B-231ZU) horizontally with a very short double socket (RAP-B-201U-A). It blocks nothing and just works all the time better than anything else. I still have my ipad with me but I have more confidence in the durability and stable interface of the 796. It's is made for the harsh environment of the cockpit.

The AeroComfort one looks super nice when finished. They stitch it so that it has a very finished look.

The only point I was making from the article is this quote "Cannulas are only allowed up to FL180; masks are required above that altitude."
-
Cannulas are only good to FL180. http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2011/February/1/Safety-Pilot-Landmark-Accidents

There were well over 300 M20M built. It continued in production until at least 2005. Serial numbers 330 and 344 are for sale on Controller right now.. It started out as a "TLS", then starting with serial number 209 it was called "TLS Bravo" since it had the wethead conversion (i bought #209 new in 1996). Eventually it was just called "Bravo", then Bravo DX or GX depending on the avionics. Call Aerox and ask for the MAPA (Mooney Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) discount. http://aerox.com/product-category/built-in-oxygen-systems/

I agree completely. I think your mechanic may sense that your checkbook will support $13,000 for a new tank made of unobtainium. (The same tank is also used on Ovations of the same years that had factory oxygen.) To complete the annual, tell your mechanic you are going to placard the instrument panel with "Oxygen System INOP". Get that annual signed off as quickly a you can and then go to another mechanic. Where are you located?
-
Aercomfort will cover yours in black ultraleather and make it look better than new. Their Jan 2014 pricelist says $375.
