Do 1969 M20E seats fit in my 1979 M20K?

[Andrewmx2955]

Hi everyone, I lost my seats and need new ones, please help. I am in California and all of the "non-essential businesses" have shut down. In January I sent my seats (front and rear) out to be reupholstered, and now the business that has them is shut down. I found some seats for a 1969 M20E and am considering buying them and using them until things calm down and go back to normal. I tried to reach out to Mooney a few times, but have had no luck with a response. Does anyone know if those seats will fit my 1979 M20K or have any other suggestions about how to get flying.

Welcome aboard Andrew...

you will probably want to confirm for yourself...

There are parts manuals for your plane and the one you are asking about...

In the end... they probably haven’t changed the seat tracks in a meaningful way...

Hope this helps... 

Best regards,

It definitely gives me a good place to start from

Thank you

I've got seats from a 1986 or 1987 K in my 1975 C, so I'm pretty sure the '69 seats will fit your '79.  A lot of people do the opposite of what you are attempting.  Hope you track down your original seats soon.

Thanks David, I am leaning towards giving it a shot, I'll let you all know if I end up pulling the trigger on it

I don’t think that you’ll have an issue installing them.  One item that may mess you up, the older seat belts likely won’t connect to your shoulder belts, unless you were luck enough to keep yours.
