Well the seal I have came out of the Yocum pile. It was from Steele Rubber (still bagged), but probably 5-6 years old. The problem is that even though it has the nipples, the spacing is off and the seal doesn't lay evenly because of it. Too much material between each nipple location, so it looks like cooked bacon. Not sure if it was made wrong, or got stretched out some how. But it was still in the Steele Rubber packaging.

I will probably end up taking a razor blade and cut off the nipples flat, so I can just glue the seal to directly to the cowl. This should let lay the way it is supposed to on the cowl.
