The only thing I have found is the 1/8" thick drawer lining. Any ideas? Merry Christimas, Gary Boothe, Cool, Ca 601HDSTD, WW Corvair Conv. - complete Tail Group - complete.

The cork strip is P10412-cork strip self adhesive 1/8x1x50ft. You will need 50 feet per tank.Don't have a price- mine came with the fuel system kit.

Seems to me it would dry out over time. A lot of aircraft manufacturers have used heavy duty felt, apparently because (unlike rubber) it allows for movement of the tank without binding, it provides padding, if it gets wet it wicks the moisture away, and it's very durable. Why would cork be superior? -- Bob Miller 601HD N722Z Charlottesville, Virginia
