So I went nuts. I bought the 201 windshield mod from LASAR for my '68C, and I'm looking for guidance on any pitfalls experienced by folks during the install of one on the old planes. The MSC that will do the work in June has gobs of experience with mods as well as fixing bent Mooneys, so I'm not too stressed about it. Still, I wonder if there's anything I should look out for.
Losing the top avionics panel access seems a tad annoying- I wish the SWTA mod was still around since it retained some access, and was cheaper. I'm told the hydraulic reservoir filler gets routed to the other side of the firewall for the LASAR mod, so that aspect seems like no big deal. I just had my panel completely redone last year, and I think wiring is now tip top back there, so I hope not to do anything major to this panel for a couple of decades.
I'll use this thread to document my experience, in case others are interested in doing the same...
