Not sure how, but I lost it .. must have slipped out. Anyone have an extra or specs they can share? Thanks.

Is it the interior one? I’m thinking there’s an SB or modification to that handle that was published a long time ago.  The document might have a diagram with specs.  Probably worth searching through the older Mooney docs.  Is it not identified in the parts manual?

Mine is just a roll pin, I think 1/8". Tractor Supply or any industrial supply, machine shop, etc., should have a good selection. Take your handle and test fit, it should go in easily on one end but not the other. (It's a press-fit.)

In my old F, mine slipped out a few times. I got stuck in the plane. I had to call the FBO on the radio and have someone come over to let me out.

For quite a while I had a Craftsman #0 phillips screwdriver stuck in the handle. I finally used a clevis pin. There is just no way to get the trim plastic on with the clevis pin.
