I sell the SAE 50 Felt called out in the Piper drawing. http://www.freewebstore.org/PierceAero/Felt/cat158563_115078.aspx
I tried felt from McMaster Carr and others sources but the fuel tanks are a tight fit and any variation in material thickness or hardness has an effect on how the tank fits in the tank straps.
