I’m looking for the part number for the rubber protection strip that can be place in the leading edge of my horizontal stab. Back in AK on 26” tires and in 6 hours of flying I’ve picked a couple dings. Thanks!

I got this from Aircraft Spruce eons ago, 2" wide. Used it on the leading edge of my stabilizer and for where I put my feet on the struts when I fuel sometimes. Much gnashing of teeth and discussion with several IA's on whether it was legal, perhaps the folks here will chime in. I used a hair dryer for heat to stretch it a bit. Lasts for maybe 5-6 years or more till I replace it. The roll I have will last forever...

I use the tape on my bird -leading edge horizontal, and fwd edge landing gear. Works great!
