My 6A Slider kit cane with a strip of UHMW 1/2" X 28. I think the P/N is C-624. I have not seen any reference to this in the plans yet. Any idea what it is for?
The tape goes on the top edge of the flaps when fully extended to provide a scratch buffer as they retract.

The battery box suggestion sounds pretty good. There isn't enough material so it could have been used to back the canopy screws, and my finish kit is only a few years old. Not for the seat belts, that is a small piece. Not for the flaps.
I will check the battery box plans and instructions. I have the firewall battery mount, so I didnt look at the floor battery box plans much.
Dont think so - its only 1/2" wide (see original post). Regardless, the UHMW tape available from VANs for this purpose should be avoided as it quickly yellows, becomes brittle and cracks.
I just ordered this tape and planned to install it on the bottom side of the top wing skin where the flaps slides across it. What do you recommend instead of this to avoid friction and paint scratching?
If the part # on the material is C-624, then it was originally meant for the canopy (that is what the "C" means)
some material gets utilized for other things but under the original part #.
Looking at my old plans - sheet 51, C-624 is the part number shown for the canopy screw retaining strip (the strip replaces nuts on the lower edge) on a tip-up -6 canopy.
Possible packing error for a slider?
