My seats need reupholstering, and I'd like to avoid the considerable down time it would entail. If anyone has an old but serviceable seat I could buy, I could send one of mine out at a time and use the purchased one in the interim. Or, if I can get one with a good frame but shot upholstery, I could send it out for reupholstering and replace one of mine with it.

Thanks,

Roy

Roy,
Can you use the co-pilot seat out of a C150M? I bought one to keep flying when I sent my seats out. Took a few landings to get use to the co=pilot side.

Terry

Would anyone on your field be willing to lend you one of their seats while yours are being redone? Many either don’t fly this time of year or they don’t have the time.

Thanks for the responses. I apologize for not doing my homework before posting.

The first thing I discovered (by my belated research, and inferred from Terry's response) is that the right and left seats are somehow different. And the second is that the seats used in my G model have the same part number as several earlier models but different from ones starting just one or two models later. So what I really need is a seat (preferably left side) from something with S/N 15060773 - 15067198. Left seat is P/N 0400118-65 and right seat is -66.

Thanks for the suggestion, Eric. Although I've kept my plane at the same field for about 15 years, I know only a few other pilots there, none of which fly a 150, and the rentals are later models. But I have seen a couple of other 150s there, so I'll ask around.

I looked online and call parts shops for about two months before I was able to find a co-pilot seat. I found two different co-pilot seats. One was in very bad shape and the one I ended up buying is in ok but not great shape. I could not find a pilot seat anywhere.

To be honest I probably overpaid for the seat, $475 plus shipping. But it let me fly the 7 months while my seats were being re-upholstered.

I would be glad to loan anyone the seat who needs it while their seats are being done. But it is a CO-PILOT seat. Would just ask freight there and back.

And yep there is a difference. And I am not sure it will fit earlier models. Don't know if the bowing out of the cabin made a difference.

Terry

PS: New seats are great. Much much better. Tennessee Wings.

The G model is the first one with the bowed out cabin, so that's not the reason for the difference in part numbers between our models. Maybe my mechanic or the one on my field might know what the difference is between the G seats and ones for later models.
