which seal btw stabilizer and fuselage..?

[Vref]

Can't seem to find a reference in the IPC on the seal that you see on many M20J's between the fuselage and the horizontal stabelizer..?

There is a gap of a couple of mm and to my understanding you could use a snap on U profile from rubber or so

Anybody knows what kind of material is beeing used here refrence P/N..? Silcone Rubber..etc..

thanks

you could do that...but it is a standard aviation grade u channel availble through aircraft spruce (they have a european division in the uk I believe) and costs about a couple bucks a foot...this is a black neoprene material ,though the example in your picture has been painted...since your posted pics look like a job well done,why dont you stick with known avation venders??...my 2 cents..kpc

oh I forgot to mention the door guard stuff is not as flexible and wont make that tight radius curve ...and it should be applied with 3m contact adhesive..kpc

Thanks for the comments. I will try to find aerospace quality. I am just surprised this is not mentioned in the service nor ipc manual...or I missed it totally btw the pic is of factory m20 mse
