Information needed about side post mounted factory sun visors.

[Gary Hanson]

I have been unsuccessful in determining which models were factory equipped with the 1/4-28 nut plate riveted to the welded on bracket.  I have seen the bracket on the fuselage frame mockup at Oshkosh and was told it was standard on the R and S models.  And I know it is another models.

In addition I would like to find the distance between the headliner surface to the start of threads on the nut plate and the distance between the headliner to the maximum length of the 1/4-28 screw.

Alternatively the length of the screw that extends past the factory visor mounting block and washer.

Welcome aboard Gary!

I have no idea how to supply an answer to your question...

So...

Referring you to Mooney.com might be the way to go...

 

What are you trying to get done?

On what model Mooney?

Best regards,

Gary, my 1970 C has factory sunvisors that screw into the outer corners of the windshield. 

Without removing the headliner, what dimensions do you need?

• Length and size of bolt, easy
• Distance from headliner to bolt hole, i.e., headliner thickness plus any gap or recess of nut plate. Difficult, as the headliner will sag down when the mounting screw is removed, as it's not just a screw, it's a threaded post sticking out the rear of a ~3/4" diameter decorative thumbscrew.
• Length of screw extending past mounting block and washer? Can't measure how far it sticks out the back. From the front, it's not a screw, the "head" is ~3/4" x 1/2" or so. I'll get a picture this weekend if nobody beats me to it.

What are you trying to figure out?

On the visors I build, I use a 1 3/4 inch stud, which provides enough length to thread into the frame, sufficient clearance for the headliner, and enough extra for the visor arm, washers, and a locknut.
