G'day gang,

Working my way into the cockpit area of the rebuild and discovered the gasket/seal for the engine hatch is irreparably bent out of shape and crusty. What are we using as a replacement? The existing one doesn't look like anything easy to match up... The only thing that is clear is it is 1" wide...

TIA

This is what I have used in the past for the engine hatch cover gasket. You can get it in various width and thickness. This is from lowes, don’t know what the big box stores are called in CA.
