    Take care brother.

    Mark, Great looking interior. What seats are those? They look really nice. My skinny old ass needs some padding like those have. I went with fabric in my baggage compartment because it's what the factory did, and I don't really plan on hauling items that will require aluminum shielding. Hopefully.image1.jpeg

    0.028” Kydex to cover the aileron cross connect. The wing root covers are either 0.025” or 0.032” 2024T3

    Seats are custom...I used Rockets walking foot sewing machine. Leather is soft, supple....some really good chit!

    Airtex wants $398 for a headliner and Spruce wants $175. (wool) Does anyone have experience they'd like to share? Is the Airtex worth more than double the A-spruce option? Also wondering about zippers for inspection/access to aileron pulleys, etc. Do they have nice zippers? Thx.

    Does anyone know of another source for interior upholstery kits for a PA22? I'm talking about front and rear seat kits and front side panels. Airtex is the only one I'm aware of now. Thanks.

    I installed a wool AirTex headliner. The guys at AirTex that installs these regularly walked me thru the installation and follow up questions on the phone cumulatively for more than an hour. AirTex had great customer service. That is worth something plus the headliner was made with quality wool and brass zippers.

    Well I have been using Airtex since 1965 and have been very happy with their products over the years. Are they as good as a custom interior NOOOOOOOOOOO. But they do not charge the same.
    I still have my Airtex Re-Covering 1965 Manual total of 27- 5"x7" pages that I used to recover my 7AC Champ in 1966. Yes that is correct they sold Dope and Cotton Fabric in the 60s along with interiors
