Does anyone sell an actual rear canopy skirt seal kit for the CJ?



Are there pictures of said seal?



Or is it more of a "roll-your-own" kinda thing?

also...  what's the best way to make/affix lightening hole covers for  

holes in the CJ wheel wells?

Please keep in mind that I am a metal-fabrication-challenged  

individual.  (Although my A&P sez that I'm just a weenie!)



Pictures appreciated!

Dave,

Unfortunately no one that I know of makes a "kit" to seal the rear 

canopy skirt.  Aircraft Spruce is the best source for the supplies.  

Blitz Fox just did his, Blitz, you out there??



With respect to the holes in the wheel wells, alu inspection covers with 

nut plates or riv nuts, screws and a foam seal work the best.  I have 

tried the heavy duty stainless steel tape and it works well if the 

mating surfaces are 100% free of oil and junk.  But this is not a "for 

ever" fix  and in about 10-20 hours it will develop problems because of 

the flexing and will break and tear off.   Your A&P is correct, get past 

the wennie thing and buy the tools and get the job done, it isn't that 

hard and you will find that it's fun too.   If you don't want to make 

your own inspection covers, there is a Cessna wing repair shop nearby 

and I am sure they would have the covers, just give me a call and tell 

me how many of each size you need. 



CARPE DIEM  my friend!



Always Yakin,

Doug

Here the source for the rubber seal.   It's PN-05-01300.   http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/uchannel.php

 

 Follow Doug Sapp's instructions for installantion. If brief, clean surfaces thoroughly, apply good contact cement to the inside and outside edges of the canopy skirt first, similarly apply cement to inside of the rubber seal. Wait a few minutes. Using four hands,  attach the seal to the skirt. It's a bit dicey, but if I can do it anyone can. ...Blitz  [quote][b]
