On a bus the engine seal is supposed to be in three pieces. One for each side
between the body and the cylinder shrouds and the other between the rear breast
plate and the rear apron. The part that goes on the apron normally has some
curve to it when it comes new. They don't make these things in three pieces.
Only one long piece that you cut to length for each of the three installations;
one left, one right and one on the apron.
This of course only applies to upright engines. Not on the later flat type 4
or whatever.

.ExternalClass {font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif;font-size:9pt;background-color:#ffffff;color:black;} It was
at the factory as well otherwise you'd never get it in the channel in the apron.

Most people cut it to make it simple to remove the rear apron. It originally
was not cut and was removed when the apron was removed.

Sorry Duncan another VW question?
I purchased a new engine to body seal from WW.
http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=111813705a
It is a U shaped piece that extends from the rear of the engine tin to both the
left and right side of the bus. Should this be one piece or should I cut it so
that I can remove metal (under the deck lid) with out removing the entire seal?
Hopefully this makes sense.
