When refitting the steering column/firewall plates, should I be using some sort of sealer?
Stinky,
Anything to keep out the fumes. Otherwise your cabin will become...er...Stinky!
The original plates had a rubber around the perimetre, as well as one around the column.
The column one is still available from the usual outlets.
If you weren't wanting to remake a rubber for the outside edge, I would use a windscreen type sealant, rather than an adhesive sealant, as you will have great difficulty removing it at a later date.
Same applies for the gearbox inspection cover, however, from memory you no longer have one!

Thanks Eddie, I was starting to think I was being shunned ??? Although with a nickname like Stinky, I'm kinda used to it ;D
:) G Day stinky.
I went to clark rubber and found just the right U shape strip that would just wrap around the two half plates nicely once I postion the plate and start inserting the screws and just be for they start to tighten I fit the U shape rubber channel around it and cut of the remander and proceed to tighten the screws.

Thanks Leon, sounds like a plan.
