Cabin Door Seals
- Many builders decide to put the door seals on the fuselage side instead of onto the inside of the door.
Two McMaster order numbers are being used: 1120A311 (lip on inside, 3/16 edge, 3/8 high) and 1120A313 (lip on outside, 3/16 edge, 3/8 high).
Builders usually sacrifice one set of seals as mold to form out the edges, then replace it with a clean second set. This procedure will need 100 ft total.
See also: - Some builders use the standard Vans way of putting the seals on the doors but use better seals sold by McMaster.
- See VAF thread
