Around the gill shutter ring is an anti-chafing strip that (having discussed it with Doug Sapp) is secured by the plates riveted to the ring.  So it's not a separate, replaceable part. 



  

My gill shutters are in fabulous shape.  My anti-chafing strip is not. 



  

Anybody got any ideas for replacing it with some kind of modern material and glue that would hold up?

Jon-



I used some felt strip (2x120”, 3/16” thick) from Grainger (Item #2FJB9) and Polycord waxed thread (.030) from www.mainethread.com. and my better half sewed it on.  Works fine but one corner needs re-sewing, but afraid to tell wife her work was sub par, ha, ha!😅 so it’s flapping around a little on one end, but only on a cowl off engine run - Hoot

I’ve used cowhide leather strap as an anti-chafe on wire/hose, cowl rub areas and when layered, as baffle seal.  Survives our sometimes oil rich environment and easy to cut, drill/punch and pop-rivet/zip tie.  Fairly cheap too.  “Wanderingbull.com”

I use a bicycle inner tube, cutting out the stem and trimming to fit. No need to sew or use any screws. Stretches to hold into place.

Jon and Group,



We use a convertible top material for the Yaks.  I don't know if our cushion

rings would fit the Huosai/CJ ring.



The axles will loosen up and need to be checked on condition inspection, at

least.  I would not cover those up with material.  Don;t negate the

importance of the seal for the proper fit and seal of the cowling.  You can

easily spend 1/2 a day rigging the louvers and cowling.  Indications of poor

fit are cracked louver blades, sagging cowl lord mounts and cowl halves

chewing one another up because of overlap.
