Hi guys,


I really need to do something about my wheel well cover. Right now, it has a "potato pouch" like canvas covering the whole thing, and I would like to know if there is a plastic or carpet that can cover it up. Any suggestions ?


Here's a photo of the ugly thing...

Hi ya drapo.


I covered Jolie's wheel well with carpet.....cut and glued to fit!  There are a couple of shots of it in our [mooneygirl and mitch] Photo Galleries.  Looks pretty good I think.  Cool

If you order a new carpet set from Airtex, a carpeted nose wheel well cover is included. At least it was a few years ago. If you like the carpeted look, perhaps you could just order a new one from them?

Why can't you just remove away the hanging fabric and paint the plastic ?  You will have to jack up the airplane to remove it from the airplane but I think that the painted look is also nice.  You could also paint the Johnson bar with the same color.  See my ww cover.

+1 for the AirTex solution. The new carpet look was better than the original potato sack look. Not very expensive either.


New carpets and lower side wall too.


This was done a decade ago for my 65C...


All in FAA compliant materials.
