1948 Cessna 170 lower strut gasket seals
Sorry guys, I am looking for a source or some advice on the gaskets that mount on the lower end of the wing strike against the fuselage behind the faring… The parts manual say that it is part number 041-1761 and 041-1760 but Internet search and a call to Cessna indicate the gaskets are no longer available… Any advice?

Make your own out of old inner-tube or nitrile gasket material.

KRN has one seal you could use to as a template to make a second one. The C-120/140 shares the same part number.
