[T3] Pan Seal

[Keith Park]

Oh Boy! Ill have to check out the samba over lunch tommoro and update
myself.  A lot of cold wet weather this spring in NY so Im still working
thru other stuff before I can start on the crate again, but I do have it
moved to the center of the garage so when the other stuff is done... I can
have fun!

I've  been cleaning up a 73 pan this weekend and the pan gasket isn't 
much of a  gasket at all.  It's kind of like a rubbery plumbers putty and 
it  looks like there's was a foam strip along the front with it.  Really  
sticky and a pain to get off.  No nails in the pan at all.  I'm  guessing 
VW changed to this kind of seal at some point over the rubber  seal.  
Will a rubber seal be fine putting it back  together?



I had 1 come with the car, but the front corners didn't want to cooperate.  
I ended up using D-19 tape instead. I've used it before on a couple of 
cars, and  had no complaints. It's easier to set up the front corners with
too. 
So far I've  separated 4 bodies and pans, it's not that big of a job.:^)  
I'm using  something similar to rebuild my air boxes with. 
 
Keith, I've got most of the glass installed in the t-34. Just waiting on  
some glass run channel to install the door glass. : ) See my link to see
that 
 I've been out in the shop ( not posting much). Jim, I found a master cy
linder  for you to rebuild (sorry it took so long, but I've been busy with 
other stuff  ;^) ). I'll send it out (along with some hose samples) in the
next 
couple of  days. I'm in no hurry for it.
