Horizontal Stab Leading Edge Protection
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...
