Do you still have these? John Breda -
You should not have to replace the seat rails. John Breda

Possibly parting out a 1965 M20E
M20F-1968 replied to 1964-M20E's topic in Avionics / Parts Classifieds
I have an inside door latch handle if you need it. You can call me at (617) 877-0025 or e-mail me at johnabreda@yahoo.com Thanks, John Breda -
I have my own twist on this subject. I took all the seats, seat belts and interior from a 1998 Ovation. I have the inertia reel fron seat belts installed. The IR is welded to the steel cage and the D ring is also welded to the cage. The rear seat belts/shoulder harnesses are attached to the rear bulkhead via a bracket and doubler structurally designed and approved by my DER, installed and signed off. My DER blessed and signed off all the installations. Works well like the original Ovation installation. As for the fuel selector, I designed and built a riser which is bolted and permanently installed to the fuel selector. It raises the selector handle about 3" above the floor so it is more easily operated when necessary. The IR shoulder harnbesses and the fuel selector riser eliminates the problems mentioned above. The fuel selector riser is also DER approved, signed off and legal. John Breda

I did all of the above and more and have a new O2 system installed in a 1968 F model. I started with an O2 system taken from an Ovation. Installed the mechanical parts to support the system in the airframe. Then changed the original O2 bottle to a 50 cubic foot size, and had the regulators rebuilt. This was all done with DER approval. Then I wrote a new POH given that the O2 bottle size was different from the original and that had to go to the FAA for their approval. Now I have an installation which is legal, with a composite bottle (15 years) with hydrostatic test needed every 5 years. John Breda

Cowl flaps mechanism for M20C
M20F-1968 replied to Oscar Avalle's topic in Avionics / Parts Classifieds
I have the cowl flap mechanism you are looking for. It consists of a horizontal steel bar that clamps onto the engine mount and has one rod on each side that reaches down to operate the cowl flaps. You can e-mail me at johnabreda@yahoo.com or call me at (617) 877-0025. Thanks, John Breda -
I have a fuel selector and separate fuel strain from an Ovation with 400 total hours on them both (see pictures). If that works I can be reached at (617) 877-0025 or at johnabreda@yahoo.com The blue colored fuel selector looks like an H&E but is made by a different company. This may be able to be used as well. I do not have much information about it. John Breda

I used it on the sidewalls below the windows. I do not yet have enough experience with it to comment. I to would like to hear the experience of others. We mechanically put it in place rather than applying it with a sticky substance to the inside of the skins. John Breda

Looking for quality references on engine overhauler
M20F-1968 replied to gwcolwell's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
If you are in this part of the country, I would recommend Penn Yan without reservations. John Breda -
This will require the installation of a J model cowling onto your F model before the M20-turbo system can be installed. The J model cowling installation requires cutting back the length of the firewall flange and side panels, the installation of cowl flanges between the firewall and outer skins, installation of a repairstip to cover the old holes, a new cowl deck, conversion of your engine mount to a J model engine mount with the weld-ons for J-model cowl flap operation, new J-model engine baffling, new air box (which is included in the M-20 kit), oil cooler relocation, new J-model spinner and bulkhead, and the cost of a J model cowling, plus the cost of most likely rebuilding it since thay are all 15-20 years old. I would estimate the cost of the cowling conversion to be $25,000, plus the cost of the M20-Turbo system and installation costs of that system. Total for all of that would be at least $60,000, most likely in the $70,000 range. John Breda

It really is not difficult. You need to be clean and careful. Spraying on the glue is preferred. I used the same glue used by the factory. I do not have the name just now but can find it. John

Just saw this thread. I may be able to help as I converted my entire interior to the newer style, including the vent system and the NACA duct in the dorsal fin. I started with an Ovation interior, and then cut and re-fiberglassed the panel so they fit into my F model. It really was not as much work as you would think. The major reason I say this is that the fiberglass Ovation style panels are quite large and with one panel you cover much of the interior. The shape and size of the interior is the same except for the window size and cabin length. Both of these parameters can be easily changed with some basic fiberglass skills. In fact, once you have one set of panels made for a particular model, using them as a mold with mold release allows you to copy them quite easily. All can be done using flame resistant resins so the parts are suitable for aircraft use. One could change to the eye-ball wemac style vents using either the NACA duct in the dorsal fin, or using the overhead scoop and flexible ducting to the wemac vents. In that case you would need to make a manifold that distributes the air to 4 smaller hoses. There should be enough space above the ceiling for this however. For what it is worth, I have 2 Ovation fiberglass panels left over from my rebuild which make the right and left ceiling and have arms that form the window pillars between the windows. I would like to sell them at a reasonable cost as they are left over and I am trying to clear out my hangar of unused parts. I can be reached at (617) 877-0025 or e-mail at johnabreda@yahoo.com. Happy Holidays, John Breda

I have not used any Mooney specific mechanics in the Boston area. I have however used Brian Kendrick who used to manage the factory service center and has decades of Mooney specific experience. He has been working on my plane since 2009. He lives in Kerrville, TX but is now self-employed and does annuals and IA work on location. He will be flying my aircraft up to Boston most likely on January 27th. and I expect he would be interested in working for you at the same time while he is here. You can e-mail me at johnabreda@yahoo.com or call me at (617) 877-0025. Where are you located and what are you thinking of purchasing? Thanks, John Breda

Overhead Red Lenses Cover Needed
M20F-1968 replied to BigTex's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I think I have the whole light. I'll look tonight. You can e-mail me at johnabreda@yahoo.com or call me on my cell at (617) 877-0025. John Breda -
Here are pictures of the parts. The first and third pictures show the parts covered in Eurostretch cloth. The middle picture shows the left hand panel which is available in the background, and a similar panel which I have altered to fit my aircraft in the foreground. You can cut and paste fiberglass parts so the contours are where you want them. You can also easily lay-up fiberglass and and to make the shape you want. I can get some better pictures of the next 2-3 days. John Breda

I have a pair of panels from an Ovation that can be altered to fit into other air frames. They are the panels that make most of the roof and have the pillars that go around the windows. I had a second set which I altered to fit into my F model. They can be the start of a very nice interior. They are fiberglass and easily remodeled. You can call me at (617) 877-0025 or e-mail me at johnabreda@yahoo.com Thanks, John Breda

Need engine mount for 1980 M20K M231
M20F-1968 replied to Amelia's topic in Avionics / Parts Classifieds
There is apparently a specialty welding shop in Dallas, TX that has many jigs for various aircraft and can rebuild/restore engine mounts. Perhaps another person on the list knows of the name. John Breda -
Looking to buy a used (tagged) KR-87
M20F-1968 replied to Ned Gravel's topic in Avionics / Parts Classifieds
I have two KR-87 units. One was repaired and inspected by Duncan Avionics and has return to service documents. It is in excellent shape. The other has been yellow tagged after inspection and testing. I do not have an antenna but I do have a KI-227 slaved indicator which is like new as well. These units were purchased for my aircraft. The reason I have 2 KR-87's is my mechanic had the unit sent to Duncan and convinced me to purchase it. I then eliminated the ADF's entirely when I redid the panel with the 600, 750 and 650 Garmins . I am sure we can agree on a price. You will not be disappointed with either one of these units. You can e-mail me at johnabreda@yahoo.com or call me at (617) 877-0025. Thanks, John Breda- 2 replies

Use a 2" electric AH instead with attach inclinometer. Mid-Continent has one, not cheap but provides more information than a T&B and still electric. Electric artificial horizons are slower in righting themselves from unusual attitudes so would still keep vacuum AH. John Breda
