Try a local dive shop and don't forget the glue.

Amazon does have it, if you can't find it locally.

I have cut it to size with both a sharp utility knife and the rotary knife I use for fiberglass cloth.

Please don't forget to update us, interested in knowing the results of that fuel line bleeding and if it took care of the issue.

Will do. Rain for the next few days, so I don't know when I'll get a chance to fly it.

Hi Bill,

Great annual inspection feedback

I will be in Lyman, SC on business the early part of week of June 10th and would love to swing by and get your .02 on Pmags and your EI Commander.....as well as check out one of the rare 9's out there.

Let me know if you will be around.

Thx,
