Guys, I think the seals are actually meant to fit into the holes of the removable plate. I purchased the Steele Rubber versions for my 39 Six Sedan and they look just like the originals in OD's post. Notice the small lips on the lower edge. This shape matches that of the openings of the plate such that it pops in and sandwiches the plate. The larger diameter oval shape then sits above the floor material (Rubber or carpet) such that the driver only sees the larger diameter over the floor for a nice look.

However, if there is any play in the pedal pivots, the brake and clutch pedal arms will move laterally with respect to the holes and will quickly pop the seals out of place. So, I took the liberty (as with other rubber parts from Steele and Metro) to open them up ever so gently with a sharp knife such that the pedal arms could move freely, then I glued them in place to the plate. They are now performing and look correct.

I hope this helps.
