M20J Interior

[Flyin Bullfrog]

Just finished this M20J interior-pics are attached.

Cut lower panels and replaced with FAA grade .060 Boltaron thermo plastic-no screws! Fastened with 3M Dual lock from the airplane frame. This provides easy access for maintenance and eliminates unsightly holes that tend to spread with age and vibration. Elimination of side arm rests have has expanded the tight Mooney cockpit.

High grade Vinyl Flite floor(same stuff used on air carriers) backed up with 1/4 inch ensolite for sound proofing/insulation/comfort. I like the clean look!

Glare shield repaired and covered with steam stretched leather with leading edge stitching-huge improvement!

Project completed in a week-cost on this one was just North of 3K.  On to the next one...

It looks good, but the power point pictures are hard to see.

Can you post higher resolution pictures?

 

[Flyin Bullfrog]

Tks-just reloaded at higher resolution.  Hope this works.

Hello Pat-appreciate the comment. Do this as "therapy" as I approach a 40 yr mil retirement this year.

I use a local vendor for the Boltaron-Norva plastics.  Kydex can also be used. The Floor can be bought SCS Interiors or Omnavia Interiors-they are both good companies. Both of these sources will certificates of conformance for purchased matl. I have made various large templates for this type work-they make the matl manageable before a final fitting. Lots of contortionist work to get it right:)

Take care

Looks amazing!  Might see what you can help with in my J.  Just around the corner at KPVG. 

Really like the cargo setup.

[Flyin Bullfrog]

No problem-I did these mods at KPVG. My K has a similar set up, I can fly her there and show you.

Glad to help

It looks nice but I fear I would miss the armrests.

Understandable Byron-I felt the same way before embarking on the first one, but now convinced it's the way to go.  Glad to take you for a  ride if you are ever on the East Coast.

Take care, "Rico"

Sure do wish my backseat folded down like that. Hmmm maybe I should trade planes .........

I like how you can see the original color on some spots of the old carpet runners. Its totally different! Looks much better now.
