Need a name/PN

The part number is S2130-1 and is the rubber seal that is glued into the channel that runs around the perimeter of the avionics bay access doors. Textron has over seven hundred feet in stock.

I replaced them on my plane about two years ago. At the same time, I replaced some of the capped camlock receptacles that had rusted holes in the bottom that had been allowing water to drip into the avionics bay behind the instrument panel. Problem solved.

I think the seal p/n is different between the planes with one avionics bay cover and those with two

In a crisis, used some good quality weatherstripping from hardware store and not a drip since. Interested in sourcing the cam lock screws due to rust. Open to any information on that. My previous search unsuccessful.

The recepticals for the camlocks on the access bay panels are found here:

I bought some a few years ago, and can't remember exactly who I bought them from.
They have the same p/n as the cessna parts manual 26R16-1, and I would not/did not hesitate to install them on my aircraft.
the camlock fasteners are different, and can be found at Aircraft spruce:
27S3-3
27S3-5
Depth / length are the deciding factor.
As far as the gasket, if you are looking for a quick, non expensive, water proof seal.............
Go to your favorite pool store, and in the "aviation dept", find a tube of Pool and Spa lube. I use a finger and spread down into the panel spaces, a fine film on the gasket, and around the camlocks themselves. It is sticky, but cleans up quickly with a rag in mineral spirits. I have never had a water issue on mine.
Regards,
Randy

OH, also.... Hi Capt Erwin. If you get down Tucson way, give me a shout.

I think I got a lot of true milspec stainless hardware from

If I DO get shot down, at least the wreckage will look really cool.
