Bill,

The last door seal I received had a brass collar around the tube, with the
flared end snug against the door seal.. Lancair may have some of these
collars, or may be able to point you to a source

Subject: [LML] IV-P Door Seal

After fooling with a partially inflated door seal problem for much 
longer than I'm would admit, I finally bit the bullet and yanked the 
entire seal and sure-nuff, there was a couple of very tiny cracks in the 
base of the supply tube which was hidden inside the door frame, that my 
soap-bubble solution couldnt find. 

Evidently there was a small amount of tube movement each time the seal 
inflated, that caused the tube to fray against the C/F as it passed 
thru  the door frame even tho the seal itself was mounted securely by 
silicone.

My fix, hopefully, is to use a short length of varnish impregnated
glass tubing over the supply tube for protection as the tube passes thru 
the door frame.  I originally thought of using a grommet to eliminate 
the problem, but the head of the grommet would offset the seal and 
create a different problem.

If anyone has eliminated this problem with a different solution, I sure 
would appreciate hearing about it.

Regards, Bill Hogarty
