I pulled the carpets out of the project plane. Here's a good one. The ca
rpets were cut around the brake master cylinders and installed all the way
to the front. The carpets had a 1/2 inch of sound deadening material sew
n to the backing. The carpets weighed 10 lbs.
I also removed the side panels. Interesting installation. no screws. Ve
lcro was sewn to sound deadening material (3/8 in thick) which was then gl
ued to the side walls. It was nearly impossible to get the side panels of
f. Oh, yea, the arm rests were riveted to the side panels.
The aluminum side kick panels were gone. Carpet was glued to the side wal
ls. A ONE-PIECE carpet from the firewall to the back seat was glued halfw
ay up the side wall. Then, the aluminum side panels were velcroed on top
of that. ALL of the avionics wiring is under the sound deadening materia
l on the side walls.
OK, so, once I got the carpet on the floor off and started cleaning 30 yea
rs of crap out from under the console, I noticed the floor looked like the
bed of a truck that just had a load of gravel dumped into it. Did someon
e beat the shit out of it with a ball peen hammer?
Maybe the installer was pissed off because the owner wanted the carpets un
der the brake master cylinders.

Why run the carpet under the MC? So the carpet can soak up all the
brake fluid that is spilled! I can't believe the shit you run into,
Gary. Must have something to do with California Grumman maintenance!

halfway up the side wall. Then, the aluminum side panels were velcroed
on top of that. ALL of the avionics wiring is under the sound deadening
material on the side walls.

What can I say? Maybe I'm too picky.
