Hi Augustine,
I put a "boot" around my gear retraction arm by using a very thin
buna rubber sheet that I "glued" together with super glue. I purchased it
---From that big supply house in Atlanta with the big yellow catalog. The
name skips my memory banks at the moment. Super glue is a really good
adhesive and it does not forgive if you put it in the wrong place. It
also sticks your fingers together :-))) I used the stuff to glue it
to the underside of the tunnel as it works very well there also. The
tunnel needs to be clean for all to work together. I also made a boot
around the fuel tank protrusions as they enter the cockpit area. This
sealed the undercarriage area from the cockpit area. Seems to be working
after two years with no problems.
