black stripping

Now that I've basically finished the major work on my baffles and Cowl, I'm doing an inventory of all remaining parts, and a to-do list (which of course still has massive items such as "PANEL").
In my firwall-forward kit (I think), there were two lengths of a black rubbery material about .75" wide. One was 4', the other was 12'. What are these for?

Check the plans, final assemble section, for the closeout panels that fit between the fuse and the wing, and under the horz stab, and the fuse.

These use a rubber channel piece--------at least on the 10.

Hard to determine with them all bunched up, but I think that is what these are.

Good luck.

Phil, they look like the wing root rubber stripping and the rubber stripping that goes underneath the horizontal stabilizer.

Thanks! almost done my inventory... very satisfying to be able to see all remaining parts... doesn't look so bad.
Another unknown... this blue foam block?

The blue foam block is for forming the cowl-to-airbox extension. A messy job, since it invovles fiberglass....
