I can't figure out how those rubber pieces go on though. on the inside or the outside. I'm guessing more the inside. maybe that doesn't even go on this car??? idk Steele rubber listed it for the heater box.....what am I missing??
Not following which rubber pieces you are asking about -- the grommets over the tubes???. The flaps look OK as does the grommets on the outside of case over the water tubes. The forward facing one is held by the hose and the one on the side kind of hangs there held by the bend in tube. Can't see a good angle so not sure if the correct one is on the correct tube or if the rotation is correct. IIRC the forward facing ones edge next to hose is almost straight vertical when installed-- not at the slight angle yours is. I also remember some posts where others thought Steeles repros were not quite correct in the angles that wrap around the case corner-- particularly the side grommet -- is not right.
