One panel for M20K

[Vlakvark]

Good day. Hope all is well. Can the M20K have a single instrument panel? I’ve seen a picture here on the forum of a single panel for another model.

A couple of C’s and Es have done the single panel, around here...

Their center stack is naturally a bit tighter than the later models...  Steel tubes at the top limit what can fit in that position.

best regards,

No, you have the quarter panel on the far right with breakers at a different angle. The center stack and right side don’t make a lot of sense to combine either.

JT,

I'm busy drawing up and making a couple of M20J/K panels, here's where I am at so far.  This is a result of surfing every available panel project I could find on Mooneyspace and the web.  Personally I like the 3/4 and 1/4 panel, because it will allow the retention of the original circuit breaker panel, or replacing the circuit breaker panel first to hold all the wires in place before you deal with the main panel.

The late model Mooneys have the same 3/4 and 1/4 layout.  But once drawn, there is nothing stopping me from adding a line and cutting in different places.

I'm picking up a used panel tomorrow (thanks Scott), then will do one more revision to the panel before cutting.  I've got a good library of instrument shapes, but need to refine the perimeter and mounting holes.  The goal is to be able to simply screw the new panel in place with a new set of instruments.
