I am replacing them with a rubber type from Aircraft Spruce. They are a little narrower only nine and a half inches and not 12 like the old ones, and it takes two to do each side. It is little pricey, but I like the look of the narrower walk. I think with a little work I can polish out the areas that will be exposed.
Here is what they have to say about them:
MAC wing walks are not made from the usual, sandpaper-like material, which can decompose and scratch both the wing surface and your knees. Instead, they use a low profile, synthetic rubber, that combines a comfortable feel with good gripping power.The MAC wing walk comes pre-cut to 26 1/2" x 9 1/2". Installation is easy with the aggressive, self-adhering backing. Each wing walk comes rolled in its own, 4"x4"x10" box and installation instructions are also provided with each box. Black .
