Hey All,
I am installing original style seals on all my engine/cowling baffles. Does anyone know where to get the staples (I know there are many other attach methods, but I'm interested in originality). Of course, nothing designed to go in a staple gun will work. I have checked multiple hardware stores, upholstery shops and aircraft parts suppliers already.
Thanks,

I made my own copying the original using heavy stainless steel safety wire. Cut the ends off at a sharp angle to give them a point.

Thanks John---that sounds like a good plan. Andy

The original assemblies were made with a Bostich machine, which is an industrial 'metal sticher'. You're right that you will have to make your own, unless you can find an old industrial unit.
