Cargo "D" Rings

[MisfitSELF]

I own a 1984 M20J that has the rear seats that can be removed to convert the aircraft into a cargo hauler.  The POH has a reference to Cargo "D" rings and cargo restraint belts in the weight and balance section as well as a description and picture of the setup in the systems section.  However I can't find it in the parts manual.

Any idea where I find these "D" rings, belts, and the associated attaching hardware?

Thanks,

I would go to the aviation section at Home Depot. There is nothing special about the D-ring’s they have the flange sandwich between 2 washers bolted to the floor. They were probably removed when someone replaced the carpet in the baggage area. If you lift the carpet you will seee the bolt holes.

Per the POH.  They use the the same holes that are drilled into the seat rails for the seat stops (the cotter pin that keeps the seat on the rail on the aft end).  I couldn't find any D rings small enough or of the right configuration at the aviation debt of my local hardware store.

Check your local branch of National Aviation Parts Association. You'll notice the blue and yellow logo on their signs.

Found a number of these in the aviation parts section of my local Karl's Hardware but they were too large...these may just fit the bill.  Thanks.
