Hi Folks,
I am almost at the end of a two and a half year saga to restore my 1977 factory built S1S to flying status. It has been recovered, new prop, new panel, some additional engine monitoring, new hoses, etc. So the large triangular aluminum gear covers were originally (at least when I got it) stuffed with foam rubber of some sort. The stuff is a little oily and generally gross. I assume it is there to keep them from fluttering in the air stream. Is that stuffing something I need? If so, what is the best material to use?
Regards,
Michael Wynn
