OK! New discovery. Some where between 1968 and 1974 they went and changed to a larger nose wheel axle bolt! Just something else to keep in mind..........................
Gee, Bill. You are having more fun than a kick in the head!

AW! Just a very minor set back!

Even when being snowed/iced in, a trip to the hanger just to look and touch and smell will send me home with a warm smile inside.
Yep! Though it is fog keeping me grounded today...........
If somebody here wants a set of pants for flat gear, and they can get me a set for the round gear to exchange, that would also work out nicely.
I have included pictures. The nose does not match the mains scheme wise. They all would need repainting. And there is one crack in the right main pants as shown. But otherwise in very good shape physically. Complete with the wheel scrapers and top cover for the nose pant. Just email or PM me if ya think we can help each other out?

Are you saying you've got the fairings for a 67-68 C-150, but you are holding them to exchange for tube-gear type?
Attached is a photo of my fairings, which I removed yesterday. These are my summer "refurbishing" project. The front fairing is in the worst shape. The top mounting holes are almost gone. Also, the cover assemlbly is missing. Probably front fairings are rare because they take a beating over the years.
I'm hoping to be able to repair with fiberglass repair materials, and if needed, I'll purchase the missing cover from www.cessnaparts.com. [cessnaparts.com.] This summer, I'm flying "pants-less."
The mounting holes for my front wheel pant were pretty much gone. I cut a strip of thin steel from a license plate, glued it to the wheel pant with epoxy, drilled two holes. Seems to hold up since 2007.

Hmmmm, what if you just glassed up the whole area, filling the holes, reinforcing with fibreglass/carbon on the inside and the outside (more so on the outside)? Let all dry, then, feather the glass in, add a touch more resin, sand, repaint and redrill the holes in their proper place?

That's the long, professional way. I prefer the quick, amateur way.
