PilotX Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 As I continue my foray into interior renovation, I have not found replacement plane plastics. Are the front plastics the same in the 1990K and M? Might go the AeroComfort interior (planning yoke and glare shield) in the future but initially prep/paint is the plan but if I break something I need to have a source to fix it. Found some u-channel and matching color screws through Jaeger. Also have some old wool-like covering on the kick panels, might try to recover in leather. Could be exciting if I can match it.

I started to try and do that and when I saw what one panel looked like i decided to talked them to Hector at Aero Comfort. If possible, do it once and do it right, never look back.

I found the matching ultra leather which will allow me to do the baggage compartment and kick panels. I will ask Hector if he can do the headliner when I get the other parts out. Should be able to fly with the headliner removed. I should have just left everything in place. No call from Avionics yet so I guess they figured everything out.

LANCECASPER Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Back in early 2016 I took everything out and gave it to Hector and then flew it to an avionics shop and let them do their thing w/o the interior. They were thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to think about that .. lol I was patient and bought some items used and did it in phases, which I do not recommend. It is better to plan it out carefully and just do it all at once, much less labor to not have to tear everything apart 2-3 times. But to answer your question, all included, I had about $70,000 into the panel upgrades. It would be considerably more now I believe. I started it back in late 2015 before a lot of the newer options were available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
