Interior refit

[larrynimmo]

I’m actually going to do this...I have all of my new plastic panels from vantage and I am awaiting my new carpets from Airtex (who are currently furloughed). Anyone know where I can get this piece of trim?

It's a T shaped extrusion. You might find it from a marine supply store or similar. 

I haven't seen one through normal aviation channels, I need some also for some repairs in my K.

One Might be more of a U shaped or C shaped extrusion...

The other one looks like a T...

Often PVC gets used universally for shaped extrusion parts...   good stability over a long period of time under mild heating...

Relaxation and shape changes occur after time and temp exposure...

PP thoughts only, not a polymerist...

Best regards,

The “U” shape one I purchased 30’ of from vantage plastics and it comes in a matching beige color...extremely pliable

Bruce Jaeger has some of the U shaped material.  Give him a call.  He is very helpful.

There are also plastic extrusions used for trim in glass shower stalls.  I used a piece to hold my carpet in the aft wall of the baggage compartment.  Take a look on e-bay as well.

T is really H shaped to hold the two panels together. Not sure where to get it. The U trim Mooney used is vinyl and is fairly stiff. The U trim that Jaeger sells is pliable silicone and you will need to RTV it to the plastic panels (Bruce supplied a tube of glue with my order). It comes in gray or beige the latter being closest in color to the original plastic panels.

The silver trim piece is used to approximate the edges of the two panels and give them a finished look. I used an H vinyl wall panel moulding from Home Depot. Painted it with SEM Color-coat same as the interior plastics. Works very well and is secure.
