			Gil, This is the stuff I use: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/neoprenepyroglass.php
			Its glass reinforced neoprene rubber. Very thin compared to other "baffle seal" material that all tends to be 3/32" to 1/8" thick, and much of it has no reinforcement (so it tears easily).

	For the metal baffles Garner Rice has told us that the Master Drawings say 5052 Aluminum. The original baffle seals were an asbestos impregnated rubber (which is no longer available due to concerns about Asbestosis. I use a thin (0.070" fiberglass reinforced rubber sheet. It can be purchased by the yard, so it can be cut to the larger than 3" widths needed on the back baffles. Aircraft Spruce sells it, as do others. ==Bob		For the metal baffles Garner Rice has told us that the Master Drawings say 5052 Aluminum.
