Turns out they are busted up and they are the plastic ones that aren't practical to repair.
Does anyone in the east texas area have some they would like to sell?

Be aware that there are several different styles of wheel fairings used on the Cessna 150, and as many different backing plates as well. If you cannot find a set from a club member or another private party, you can source them on eBay quite regularly. You should post a photo of the backing plates installed on your plane to determine the ones you should be looking for- what you have installed may not be original to your plane.

My brackets are wider (taller) in the front. I have noticed some brackets are shaped different.
I will see If I can find a picture--pictures are always good.

Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 5,975 | The ones with the opening taller in the front are most likely the 1971-73 year, and the wheel pant itself has distinct "flats" over the top of the fairing. Everything from 1974 on up uses the rectangular backing plate and the modern rounded style fairing.
