Hi
After scouring the globe, talking directly to Cessna and their original supplier 3M, we were unable to locate or find a suitable alternative. Never being one to give in so easily, I found a company in the USA which supplies wood trimming, and by luck they also do PVC woodgrain trim. I purchased a 50ft roll of PVC from them for around $94. The only thing I had to do was trim it to the correct width. www.jsowoodproducts.com The guys name is Steve Kitts. Item no:12126555175 I will attach a photo, the actual colour is a little lighter than in the photo. It is slightly different to the original, but I was replacing all not just the odd one. Once I had the strip cut to width, I then glued it in place with 3M contact cement. Looks brilliant against the grey interior. Anyway this is a good workable alternative to the original from Cessna.

I just ordered some more as spares, the picture is the item code. If you buy some, being PVC it is very easy to break when cutting, even with a sharp blade.
I used some of the old material as a template for width, keep in mind that one side of the aluminium moulding has a recces, always put the new PVC strip in this side first, then it fits right in. Dave |
