Matthew,
On my 150 I dressed up the yokes by slipping on that foam bicycle
handle stuff. I then tiewrapped the portable push-to-talk button on
the grip. I've since had some radio work done and had permanent PTT
buttons added to the yokes but I still have the foam on the yoke
handles. If you go with the foam, use a little dishwashing liquid to
lubricate the handle so the foam slides on easily. If you have an
older 150 with the closed rectangle type yoke, some sort of leather
wrap would be feasible. When the time comes to replace my
seat/shoulder belts, I'm going to seriously consider upgrading to the
four point shoulder harnesses (Wag Aero carries them). They are a
significant upgrade in safety if you have an accident.


Did you use any type of cement to hold the foam in place? I've got a
1972 model with the thin rams-horn style.
