Hi,
Would anybody happen to know whether the 152 and 172 nose gear spats are the same? Also anyone know where I may be able to find one?
Many Thanks

Did you confuse Cessna and dirtbike ? 😀

At a guess I would say that the 150/152 and 172 spats would not be interchangeable as the wheels are different sizes (I think)

Your best bet is to look in the Aircraft Spruce catalogue. They are not going to be any more expensive than getting them over here as most of the ones you will find in this country will be from Aircraft Spruce and simply have a mark-up added.
They are very good to deal with. The last stuff I ordered was done on a Friday night and it was with me Monday morning.
Dollar rate is still OK too.

If it was a Piper aircraft I’d direct you to the UK owners club. I’ve had a quick Google to see if there is a Cesspit equivalent, but so far, nothing UK side.
You’ll probably end up having to get one from the States. Much money, much time.
Or do Reims still hold stocks?

Ok ok, I asked for that I suppose, brought a smile to my face this afternoon though, thanks.
So other than that does anyone know where I could obtain a spare one, preferably not one which is attached to an aircraft?

Robbo’s image. All credits due. Serves him right for the ‘vintage type’ crack
:p

Usually just under the nose, near the propellor.
