Cessna 150 Harnesses

[VictorMike]

Can someone save me a trip to the airport and tell me if Cessna delivered the 150 with the rivnut installed for a harness expansion? Figure 25A (Pg 226) in the 150 '63-'69 parts manual implies this is the case for S/N 15061533 and on but I don't know that to be accurate.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a 150 without a nutplate ( not rivnut) inside the

afr Spar Carry Through.

Yeah I guess those 8 pixels do look more like a nutplate. I thought they were there but then again, I've never had a Cessna with no harnesses already installed.

I installed a set of harnesses in my 150, which had a nutplate installed. Very easy - hardest part was cutting a hole in the ceiling liner (mine has a hard plastic, not fabric liner).

On the 150 forum it seems like the vast majority do have it, but there are some rare ones that don't. Easiest way to find out is to just check. Unzip (if fabric) or unscrew (if plastic) the liner and have a look. Regardless of what you find, it's worth the upgrade.
