0TreeLemur Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 I suspect that the left inboard fuel sender in our J is leaking so I need to remove the interior panels. The logs say that the sidewall panels installed in 2017 were manufactured by Triumph Interiors. Anyone else have these, and any recommendations for removing the LHS panel with minimum hassle/damage? Thx. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT20J Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Do you have any pictures of the panels? Usually interior refurbishers just repair and paint the Mooney plastic panels. Some cover them with synthetic leather. The Mooney panels are just attached with a lot of sheet metal screws. You have to remove the long padded trim strip which is held on with clips and just pulls off (unless someone has glued it on). Prying gently at the clip locations with a putty knife helps avoid damaging the plastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 This is the best pic I have. I think this might be a Spatial Interior, but not sure. It is a Spatial Designs interior panel. They are attached with 3M Velcro. Just peel them off and you’ll be able to get to the senders.

My question was specifically aimed at the lower panels, and how they might be fastened. I appreciate your reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red circled items are the Velcro attachment points. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
