Light Aircraft Association

Hi,

has anybody got information on where to find some rubber strip to wrap around the wing to fuselage joint please?

It happens to be on an Auster, but I am sure many aircraft need the same strip.

Initially the gap is taped, then the rubber strip laid on, held in place with a sprung steel band.

I would say it needs to be around 12cm across, maybe a couple of metres in length - will check again.

Is it something we can buy on a roll?

Many thanks,

Simon

Thanks Frank.

I have found some rolls for sale on ebay at £30 for 12cm wide, 5-10 metres, 3mm thick, neoprene rubber with cloth reinforcement.
Provided my engineer approves, looks like it might be fit.
