Hawth200 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Posted November 24, 2013 I have a question about the landing light lens cover STC that is available for our older Mooney's. On my C model the landing light lens housing is riveted to to cowling and the landing light bulb is replaced from the front. Originally I was under the impression that the new lens cover was sandwiched in between the cowling and the light housing and rivets re-installed. But obviously this cannot be the case if the bulb is replaced from the front. So, it is hard to tell from the pictures that I have seen, but is the new lens held in place by new screws and clip nuts/nutplates after the rivets are removed?
Hawth200 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Posted November 24, 2013 Okay, I see... Thanks for posting a picture. It looks like countersunk screws are used which is going to involve dimpling the cowling. Do you know if nutplates where installed on the light housing or are there just some sort of nut clip used. Thanks again.
