I would like to know how thick and how wide to cut the seal before installing the duct to the strato vent. Thanks

Every seal, gasket and rope caulking was included except that one. I will post a pic soon to illustrate the flange that I`m talking about. Maybe that will help.

Of course, I could make something but would like to see how the original is cut and installed to reduce leakage at that point.

I could make something up, but would need dimensions; how thick, what material, inside edges go where? I'll take a stab at it tonight.

I can laser cut that one for you today and drop in the mail if you give me some dimensions. Jim Fillmore www.DetroitMuscleTechnologies.com Mopar body and heater box restoration gaskets

My newest toy I mean tool. 54" tangential knife vinyl cutter. It steers the knife thru the cut instead of dragging it like inexpensive cutters and is lightning fast.

The little parts on these boxes are becoming more and more scarce to find. Don't throw anything away. if it looks like a twisted piece of useless metal, it's probably the correct shaft for your strato vent door.
