Default Looking for brush/trim for flap/spoiler handle slots

My original brush-like trim that 'covers' the slots inside the cockpit of my
LS-6 are worn down and I'd like to replace them.

Anyone know of a source for these "brushes"?

They're black nylon, about 3/4 inch wide, and serve to close the slots the
controls exit from, yet still allow their unobstructed movement.

Appreciate any leads.

The stuff is called 'strip brush' or 'channel back
brush' and is available from a variety of industrial
supply outlets. Of course, finding exact replacements
can be problematic, especially if you don't want to
buy a 100-foot reel of the stuff.

One place to start is the McMaster-Carr catalog. A
search shows several strip brush products. Unfortunately,
none are 3/4' wide:

A typical manufacturer of the stuff is:

I hope that helps some.

Thanks, and best regards to all

Thank You,

McMaster-Carr had them.... although the bristles are 1" wide.... I'll just
cut them down to the 1/2" wide size.
