I am looking for a set of seats from a 1959 150. I don’t care the condition of them as long as they are complete.

Let me know what ya got!

Thanks!

I've got an extra pair but one of them is missing the rollers and the tabs are damaged. Both are in need of new upholstery.

I requested a quote for repair from Aviation Fabricators and was blown away by the response.

The base evaluation fee is $625
Measuring the seat to make sure it complies with the AD and issuing approval - $775
If any of the tangs need to be squeezed together to close the gap - $875 to $1075
If any of the roller housings need replacement, it's between $820 and $995 each depending on which one. This is on top of the base fee above.
Replacing all four roller housings - an additional $2856

I think I'm going to become a seat hoarder. I mean, well, I already am with four sets sitting in my storage container and only two 150 projects needing them seats but I think it's time to invest in more of them!

Thank you but I don’t think these sound like the same as for the early 150. My seats don’t move the bottom seat part is set in place and a bench back rest.

The early 150's have the same seat bottom's as the 120/140's. I believe the very early 150's have the same seat back as well. At some point they changed the design of seat back recline latch. Depending on what design you are looking for, I may have a stripped set of seats available. All of the fabric has been removed from them. Can you post a picture of the seat back bracket that is mounted on your rear door post?
