Looking for 'new style' fitting 6 inch wheels


There are Old Pilots and Bold Pilots, but no Old Bold Pilots

I've got a set for the mains, only, w/o backing plates. May take a day or three to get you a picture, tho. I just left the hangar a couple of hours ago and could've snapped a few. They look like the '75-'77 style. I think they have the doors and scrapers on them too.

I have no clue what the going rate is on these things, either.

Kewl, no big rush but I do like wheel pants on a bird....
Someone had a set of old style, but I never cared much for the old style long, skinny ones, look clunky on anything smaller than a 182 IMHO

The newer current production Cessnas have gone back to the style seen on the late 1960's planes. I guess they are more streamlined. When choosing wheel fairings, you HAVE to match the backing plates to the wheel fairing, AND the backing plate has to fit your landing gear. If you have flat spring gear, the plates from the tubular gear will not fit, and vice-versa. You can find wheel fairings on eBay all day long, but make sure you get the correct mounting plates that fit your gear.
