All aluminum parts are treated with a Zinc Chromate primer and ready to paint. To finish simply scuff the surface lightly, clean, and paint with desired color. The parts may be painted before or after installation. For optimum performance of this modification it is desirable to check the flap rigging per the appropriate Cessna Manual before the installation of the gap seals. Section 1.0 Installing Flap Gap Seal Kit on 170B, 172, 175, 180, 182, 185, 205, 210 Models. 1.1 Locating and Trimming Inboard Flap Seal P/N C-IFS. (Left Wing) The Inboard flap gap seal P/N C-IFS must be trimmed to match the contour of the fuselage for the particular aircraft. Per Figure 1 Page 3, place the inboard end of P/N C-IFS 1/16” from fuselage. Mark the location of the two screws holding the existing fairing around the wing to fuselage junction. Seal P/N C-IFS should be notched so it can be slid between fairings and around screws. Also notch the flange on the trailing edge of the seal where it interferes with the flap track (see Sketch A). Make sure to radius the corners of the notches to prevent cracking. On some models the flap access panels may need to be trimmed slightly at the bottom to prevent interference with the gap seals. On models with a screw at the bottom of the access panel, the bottom screw may be removed. 1.2 Locating and Trimming Outboard Flap Seal P/N C-OFS (Left Wing) With the inboard flap seal P/N C-IFS properly located, mark a line on the bottom of the wing at the most outboard point of the seal. This line will represent the location for the inboard edge of seal P/N C-OFS. With outboard seal P/N C-OFS properly located, notch the flange on the trailing edge of the seal where it interferes with the flap track (see Sketch A). Make sure to radius all corners of notches to prevent cracking. Due to variations in airframes the Outboard Seal P/N C-OFS is supplied longer than may be needed on your particular aircraft. It may be trimmed at this time. 1.3 Locating and Attaching Outboard Attach Tab P/N C-TAB (Left Wing) Per Figure 1 page 3 drill at least 2 (3 on some models) rivets from end of flap well area. (some models may have screws instead of rivets) Install P/N C-TAB between the two skins. Locate so at least 1” is exposed into flap well. Mark rivet locations and drill. Re- rivet using CR3243-4-3 rivets. (or existing screws) 1.4 Locating and Riveting Attach Brackets P/N C-BRACK (Left Wing) (To aid in the placement of attach brackets, 2 sided tape may be used to temporarily hold them in position.) Referring to Figure 1 Page 3, mark attach bracket locations on wing. These marks represent the center of each bracket. The attach bracket locations shown are recommended locations, however they may be moved if interference is found with existing rivet heads, flap tracks, or inspection panels. If it is required to move attach brackets, confirm they are located no further than 24” from each other or the end of the flaps. You may use the trimmed section of the flap gap seal as a guide to locate the proper height of the attach brackets. Due to variations in airframes, shims P/N C-SHIM may be used to achieve correct angle along bottom of brackets (figure 1 detail 1). With all brackets temporarily held in place check for proper fit of gap seals. Drill #27 holes through brackets, flap well skin and shims if necessary. De-burr holes and corrosion proof with Alodine or equivalent. Rivet the brackets in place using (4) CR3243-4-2 rivets per bracket. Page –1- SKETCH-A NOTCHING DETAIL .125” Min.

Cleco the seals to the attach brackets as you go. With the seals temporarily attached to the brackets locate 7 or 8 points along the leading edge of the seal inboard seal, 4 along the leading edge of the outboard seal, and drill #40 holes through seal into trailing edge of wing skin per sketch B page 1. Look for areas in the seal that are not tight to the bottom of wing skin, more locations can be used if appropriate. Cleco seals as you go. Remove seals and enlarge the holes in the attach brackets and bottom of wing skin to a #12 holes size, de-burr holes and corrosion proof with Alodine or equivalent. Install P/N A6K-75 rivnuts in each location. Enlarge the holes in the seals to a #20 hole size and install seals using AN526C-632R8 screws and AN960C- 6L washers. Check to make sure air cannot get between the leading edge of the seal and the bottom wing skin. If areas are found that can allow air to get between the seal and the bottom wing skin the seal can be bent further upward or extra rivnuts and screws added to the leading edge. After gap seals are secured, apply 3M Tape P/N 8672 to the joint where the leading edge of the seal meets the bottom of the wing per 3M directions. The joint between the seal and the bottom of the wing must be completely sealsed to prevent airflow between the seal and wing. 1.6 Installing Seals On The Right Wing.

All aluminum parts are treated with a Zinc Chromate primer and ready to paint. To finish simply scuff the surface lightly, clean, and paint with desired color. The parts may be painted before or after installation. For optimum performance of this modification it is desirable to check the flap rigging per the appropriate Cessna Manual before the installation of the gap seals. Section 2.0 Installing Flap Gap Seal Kit on 206 Models. 2.1 Locating Outboard Flap Seal P/N C-206-LOF (Left Wing) Locate the outboard seal P/N C-206-LOF flush with the end of the flap well area, notch the flange on the trailing edge of the seal where it interferes with the flap track (see Sketch A). Make sure to radius all corners of notches to prevent cracking. On some models the flap access panels may need to be trimmed slightly at the bottom to prevent interference with the gap seals. On models with a screw at the bottom of the access panel, the bottom screw may be removed. 2.2 Locating Center Flap Seal P/N C-206-CFS (Left Wing) With the outboard flap seal P/N C-206-LOF properly located, mark a line on the bottom of the wing at the most inboard point of the seal. This line will represent the location for the outboard edge of the center seal P/N C-206-CFS. With the center seal P/N C-206-CFS properly located, notch the flange on the trailing edge of the seal where it interferes with the flap track (see Sketch A). Make sure to radius all corners of notches to prevent cracking. 2.3 Locating and Trimming Inboard Flap Seal P/N C-206-IFS. (Left Wing) With the center flap seal P/N C-206-CFS properly located, mark a line on the bottom of the wing at the most inboard point of the seal. This line will represent the location for the outboard edge of the center seal P/N C-206-IFS. Trim the Inboard flap gap seal P/N C-206-IFS to length, also trim the seal to match the contour of the fuselage for the particular aircraft. Per Figure 2 Page 6, place the inboard end of P/N C-206-IFS 1/16” from fuselage. Mark the location of the two screws holding the existing fairing around the wing to fuselage junction. Seal P/N C-206-IFS should be notched so it can be slid between fairings and around screws. Also notch the flange on the trailing edge of the seal where it interferes with the flap track (see Sketch A). Make sure to radius the corners of the notches to prevent cracking. 2.4 Locating and Riveting Attach Brackets P/N C-BRACK (Left Wing) (To aid in the placement of the attach brackets, 2 sided tape may be used to temporarily hold them in position.) Referring to Figure 2 Page 6, mark the attach bracket locations on wing. These marks represent the center of each bracket. The bracket locations shown are recommended locations, however they may be moved if interference is found with existing rivet heads, flap tracks, or inspection panels. If it is required to move attach brackets, confirm they are located no further than 24” from each other or the end of the flaps. Due to variations in airframes, shims P/N C-SHIM may be used to achieve correct angle along bottom of brackets (figure 2 detail 1). With all brackets temporarily held in place check for proper fit of gap seals. Drill #27 holes through brackets, flap well skin and shims if necessary.
