gsxrpilot Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 My 1987 K has the removable rear bucket seats. The seat bottoms are just cushions that velcro in, and the seat backs just slide over the seat back frame. I believe these seats are common to all Mooneys for a specific range of years of the mid-body models. I have two questions. What year models included this type of rear seats? And does anyone in the Austin/Houston area have a seat cushion and seat back cushion I could borrow for a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMuncy Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 My 1982 231 is the same as yours. Sorry, I'm not in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on my 83 ( dec 83, so I thought it had the split seats due to it having the 84 changes, but looks like Don has them in his 82 as well. I am happy to lend you the seat(s) for the day, I'm in New Braunfels (KBAZ).Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 @gsxrpilot, stop by John Miller’s shop at KBAZ and borrow mine. They are probably pulled out on the hanger floor anyway for the TXi upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thanks! I would like to use a seat for this coming Sunday. @Bryan hopefully your plane is done by the weekend and you're flying it home. We're planning to go to Houston on Sunday to see some friends and my wife has told me they're hoping I'll give them a ride in the Mooney. But my back seats are in Denver. If the weather looks good towards the end of the week, I'll reach out and swing by BAZ. Thanks @JRam and @Bryan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Seriously, go by and grab one/both - use at as an excuse to check up on the install for me. I have a biz trip to Boston next Monday-Thurs so unless he has jumped way ahead of schedule (as avionics shops tend to do), I shouldn’t need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) The back seats in my 1970 C model recline individually (from the factory!), and are sort of easy to remove. They are, however, a stone cold b!tch to reinstall, which will make you sweat like a whore in church while simultaneously enlarging your vocabulary and diminishing the blood supply in your extremities. I'm not takin them thangs out again unless and until I completely redo the interior! Sorry, back to your regularly scheduled discussion . . . . Just had to stick up for my fellow Vintage owners, reclining back seats aren't exactly new. Edited May 1, 2019 by Hank 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSMooniac Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I always thought they arrived on the 82 models, but my salvage J is technically an 81 and it has them. S/N 24-1221 which was pretty late in the run... I think it was one of the first J's to get them. I've seen J ads for sale in the 24-121x range that don't have them.Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
