An exhaust nozzle has main flaps with seals therebetween. Each flap and seal is constructed having inner and outer members which cooperate to form a liner for passing cooling air therethrough which extends substantially around the entire circumference of the liner. The inner member of each of the seals is riveted at its forward end to a guide and support member which is in turn fixed to its outer member while the remainder of the inner member is permitted thermal growth by sliding on said guide and support member. The outer member is bolted to the guide and support means. Said guide and support means being corrugated to permit cooling flow therethrough with the heighth of the corrugations providing the proper contour for the inner member.
