I put mine back the way I found it,buy new 1"x 1/2" felt. coat with Pliobond (approved) the reciveing tubes should be coated with approved epoxy. fasten to the structure and tie with lace cord(holds in place) When its dry shove the tank home.

Try weather stripping or get an air compressor intake filter (felt) and cut/peel off pieces that fit.

Jack,

Go to http://www.mcmaster.com/

search on F3 felt and you will find it plain or adhesive backed. F3 felt is the original type.

We sewed tape with one row of stitching down the middle. Brushed adhesive on tubing. After tank was in place we slid felt in place, and wet the tape with MEK. Presto felt impermanently in place. Larry

When I re built the Baby Ace last year I went over to the local fabric store and found some felt or felt like material (came off a roll) . Any way I just cut it into strips and glued them to the Cub straps for the Cub tank to nest in. Looked just like the orginal stuff tht the orginal owner used off an old Cub and all is flying well!! Remember these things were built in the 40s they probably used exactly what I used...I realize I am Experimental but I am not very far off this one !
