ArtVandelay Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 I see there is a kit for all Mooneys 940072-501 that's suppose to help keep door closed. My upper leading edge isn't quite flush and I'm wondering if this is fix. Does anybody have this installed and do you have a picture? Any guidance on it's effectiveness and ease of installation? TIA Quote
Bennett Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 I have the pin installed on my J (and my prior Mooneys). Works great - LASAR did the installations. I believe I previously posted a photo on MS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
mccdeuce Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 @teejayevans I have the same problem. Just barely doesn't close on the upper leading edge of the door. I was thinking it was because of the door seal. Will be curious to see how you fix. Quote

I believe I previously posted a photo on MS. I checked your Images on MS, no joy, pix of door doesn't clearly show it but I don't see it. Googling you and cabin door pin also proved fruitless. Quote
Bennett Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 I'll take a new photo tomorrow and post it then. I might have it in one of my photo collections, and if so, I'll post it later today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

jetdriven Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 I also added the pin. It doesn't so much pull your door tighter as it keeps it from pulling up and out in flight. There's some serious velocity in that area and with that, low pressure trying to pull the door away from the cabin. The pin holds the door down. Mine didn't fit well from the factory. The door skin protruded a little. Before painting I raised the Cabin skin a little with some filler and got the door really flush. Quote
201er Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Byron doesn't believe in the wheel well liners. What does Jerry say they do for speed? Quote
jetdriven Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 I've got the wheel well liners in. Couldn't tell any speed gains. Neither with the aileron gap seals wing root fairings and tail group fairings. And we raced it a lot Quote
