M20C vs M20F

[hish747]

Could someone with an M20C or M20F be so kind as to measure the width across the rear bench? Or if someone knows for sure that they are identical, that would be good to know too.

Thanks,

Hish

Aren't all mooneys the same width in the passenger areas?  I know they get longer but didn't think the seating got any wider.

They are the same width.

I just made a dog seat-cover for my J so I know the measurements well.

 

The rear portion of the seat cushion is ~37" wide and it widens to ~39" as you reach the front of the cushion.

I need to get one of these as well. Did you make it yourself or did you have it made somewhere?

I made it myself, but don't tell anyone.  Contrary to what you might hear, having a sewing machine does NOT make you a sissy!

 

This was my second version. The first was made from a lighter denim material and didn't stay in place that well. Plus it wasn't water-resistant. So...

 

I made the new one out of a fairly heavy vinyl material. It's one piece covering the seat back and bench tucking in along all the sides. A nylon strap is sewn into the back piece and fastens with a fastex buckle in the baggage compartment to keep it in place. I also replaced the four trim screws in the rear footwell with canvas snaps to hold the front edge of the cover so it doesn't ride up.

 

My error was making the bench portion 37" from back to front instead of flaring it out to 39" so it fits a little tight on the front (but still works okay). I told my wife that I'd get it right on the next attempt.

 

I'll snap a couple pics of it for you when I'm at the airport this weekend if you want.

P.S. Please don't ask me to make one for you; I probably spent 6 hours working on the dang thing! But I will send you a drawing if you like.

Hahah... ok, I won't ask you to make me one. But when you make the second one that fits better, you can sell me the current one. :-)

 

Thanks,
