The above seal is not in the best shape and has a lip that goes over the opening of the firewall to hide the edge.  I cannot find a reproduction seal.  What do most people do to replace this seal? Just cut a flat one out of rubber and with a little sealant attach it to the firewall then screw the plates that go around the steering column into place and leave the raw edge of the opening visible from the engine compartment?

Keith, Rare Spares has these.  I got one not long ago through Evans Trim Shop.   Mike.

Mike,  I checked Evans trim shop out and they do not remember ever selling one of those seals. I took the old sample with me.  They can get the one that goes around the steering column to the two half plates but not the one around the outer edge of the plates.  Thet rang Rares and confirmed that they are not available.  It llke like a flat rubber one has to be made.

Keith Im not sure what access is like to marine stores where you are but I ended up purchasing some rubber seals through my local marine place last year when I couldn't find them anywhere else.
