Supercop0184 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Has anyone replaced their carpet in a 64 C model where the nose gear well in the cabin is carpeted? I’m guessing you have to remove the the linkages that go up through the carpet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragedracer1977 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 My carpet had slits in it. If you call SCS interiors they should have a pattern. I know, because I sent them my original to create a template. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you didn’t have to remove or disconnect any linkages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to cut to get the old one off? Sorry - 20 questions anddddd I’m taking this task on last minute so - not much time to research.

ragedracer1977 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 My boots were still in good shape. I didn’t have to cut the old one, it had slots already. Might have been replaced before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 My 65C had a carpet that fit over the top of the wheel well.... it required the links to be disassembled... for fitting... A slit and Velcro would work pretty well, with enough planning... And the flap indicator had to be removed and put back in place...

Prior owner Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I learned he hard way...however you choose to install it, do NOT cut into the edge binding on the carpet- it will unravel and then take far too much time to make a passable repair. If you want to install it without removing any rods- cut a slit up the center of the carpet from the firewall side , stopping short of the flap rod, from there, you branch out with cuts to each rod that protrudes through the carpet. This way, The binding stays intact all the way around the wheel house. After you glue it all down, the slit up the center will not be visible if you join the edges of the slit together carefully. Just one of many ways to do it, I am sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I’m talking to SCS - can you send me what name your pattern may be under? And let us know what kind of pricing they are offering these days. I was quoted $1,000 for 3 pieces (runners under the seats and baggage compartment floor). It was in wool and had bound edges, but really, can it be that much?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercop0184 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 They have three different qualities - the middle of the road is listed 290.00 for their 64 C model package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the record, I just spent less then $900 with shipping on Airtex carpet for my F. It includes runners under seats, baggage compartment and carpet side panels... I should finish install this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even charge me for the carpet on the nose wheel as a thank you for sending them the old stuff to create a new pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Nothing like fresh carpet, in an old Mooney... Especially when the old carpet has that familiar blue tinge of 100LL stained in it. SCSinteriors is a member here if you want to contact them through MS.... I left out the @ sign.... to not alert them for no reason...
