New interior for M20J

[EugeneKha]

Hi all!

I just bought 1986 M20J and looking for options to refresh the interior. Thinking about replacing plastic and adding some leather. Any suggestion where it is possible to order that?

I am in Cyprus so may need some kind of a kit...

How much do you want to spend?

Your plastic can probably be restored with SEM Products or covered with ultra leather.

I'm not a mechanic or expert.  Just a guy that's done it and been through the learning process.

Looking for options. Thinking about 5-6k

You can gobble up half of that or more just in the seats. I did the Spatial Designs interior and with the seats/rugs, I was in the $8k range.

I don’t know what Aerocomfort gets but they have to be pushing $15k or more.

Try to find an upholsterer who can provide the burn permits. Some of the car people might end up cheaper than a shop dealing with airplanes only. I got my seats done for $2k (in leather) primarily because I caught the shop at a slow time. No one in areas where we deal with winter weather wants their plane down during the summer.




SCS sells nice carpets but they are pricey. I had custom ones made by Airtex in Trenton, NJ. I could buy 3 sets of them for the price of a high end SCS carpet set.



Jaeger’s Spatial Design package includes new side panels and shows you how to refurbish cracked trim pieces. I priced out replacement trim pieces and I could easily have dropped over $3k on them alone - and to make things worse, you still need to trim the trim to get them to fit correctly.

This is one of Bruce’s side panels with refurbished window trim.

Wisconsin Aviation is making a donation to the Mooney Summit soon. Perhaps it would be a great way to get a Jaeger Spatial interior going for you! I put one in my F when I owned it and loved it

I’ve seen Marauders in person very nice and nicely done.
