I tried the 3M 4200 but it did not work. That was when only one strip was loose . Now they all are falling off, so I cleaned up real good and now will re glue them. I have a fresh tube of 5200 and think I will try that first, and if that doesn't work try the head gasket sealer.
Thanks for the replies.

I am pretty sure that is what the OEM was.

Just a quick note. most glues will work ok, but when you "reglue" the strips you really have to clean the strips and the hubs from the grease. Clean with soap, then with acetone. once there is clean surface, pretty much anything will work. Some will last longer then others. :)

I have to ask again, what are they in there for ?? Can anybody answer that for me ??

Putting a prop on the other day I was wondering the same thing. The way the prop hub is sandwiched on it does not look like they are needed.
