ZamF16 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 My Bravo interior plastics have some cracks, missing/loose screws and yellowing. I would like to replace them, but cannot find any except for the vintage Mooneys. Does anyone know where I can get them for the Bravo? I cannot believe I am the first person wanting to do this. Also, has anyone done the replacement of the plastics do-it-yourself, or should I utilize a service center? Zam Quote

Zam I had my side panels repaired and painted, I had my headliner repaired and covered with leather, and all new shiny screws: all part of an interior redo Quote
LANCECASPER Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 It depends on how involved you want to get. If you take the seats out, the interior can be removed, repaired and repainted. http://mooneyspace.com/topic/14892-paint-for-plastic-panels/?hl=%2Binterior+%2Bplastic#entry203556 There are some other good threads on here about repairing the plastic. On a Bravo I used to have (serial #7) I had Aero Comfort in San Antonio cover the panels in Eurostretch fabric - looked nice but if I was to have them do it again I would do it in Ultraleather. http://aerocomfort.com/mooney/ Quote
ZamF16 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks, it never occurred to me that painting the panels was an option. Quote
Av8 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 There is a plastic repair kit on spruce that chemically "welds" cracks and works well - patience is as important as "skill" Â SEM paint works great - there are photos of recent plastic paint/repairs I did in 2014 in gallery. Quote
csarles Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 Ryan, Lol, just read this after replying to your other question about the annual. Sarasota avionics will definitely help you with the interior and the other things you like too. Curt Quote
ArtVandelay Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 I had mine repaired, covered with leather, by a shop that specializes in doing interiors (Aerotrim@KFPR), they were able to not just fix cracks, but removed ashtrays and repair the holes. Quote
