Cowl Rub Strip Material

Post by rschreiber »

The rub strip material attached to my cowling that goes around the air filter is starting to disintegrate. I couldn't find the Cessna part, but I did find this:

The Cessna part in the IPC looks to be a similar part number to the rub strip used on all the other engine baffling.

What are you all using when this material needs to be replaced?

Thanks,

Ryan

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to see that's the solution. It will save me the cost of buying a 9-foot section of the other stuff!
