<p>Thanks to all for the recommendations and suggestions.</p>

<p>Richard, Ivan,</p>
<p></p>
<p>The photo of the dual boot is a little difficult to see. Did you cut the dual boot in half ? Also did you leave the sliding metal piece in the bulkhead, or did you remove that when using the boot ?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Similar to Phil, I used some Teflon sheet, cut to the same size as the metal "sliders" with close fitting holes for the rods. I got this idea from a 701 owner, who did the same thing to eliminate the rattling around of the metal sliders, which had bothered him until he found out where it was coming from. At low speeds, the baffles don't have enough pressure against them to remain stationary. Silicone rubber sounds like a good way to go.<br/> Dave Muse</p>

<p>Jim,</p>

<p>Yes the mtl is the red stuff reinforced with some type of fiber - it gives its a little more rigidity. Advantages - none I can think of, metal seems a little ridged and noisy, plastic could be affected by heat and the mtl was used under cowl. Also there is blue, black and what ever but don't buy the whole roll just stop by your friendly FBO and mooch a little.</p>

<p>I found a piece of al that was about the same thickness of the mtl and used that for the spacer. The weird holes were to clear previous rivets on the FW,. The whole idea was to have the rods - covered with shrink wrap - with a very little interference and the baffling mtl slide up and down as the nose wheel travels. So far 210 plus hours I like the setup and see no leakage - also on a whim I bought a comercial CO detector and see no real levels of CO. </p>
