I have purchased a web type cowl seal for my ’41 and I’m trying to figure out how to keep it in place on the cab’s cowl. Yes each side of the cowl has 3 holes for maybe sheet metal screws. It’s the area between these screws that I’m concerned with. I remember removing all that was left of a short section of the old seal and it seems to me that there was a wire involved with the hold down.

The web material I have has a sort of grove all along the length of one side so I’m guessing maybe a sort of stiff wire may have laid in this grove. This wire would have to be bent into the shape/curve to match the cowl.

Anyone got any ideas?? Was there a wire?? Where to get one?? What to use as a substitute??
