Title: Astro Ventilation seals ???
Post by: DAVEN1256 on March 02, 2015, 07:47:46 PM

I am resealing my Astro Ventilation ductwork on my '68 and have both an OER and a Soffseal seal kit. There is an extra seal in both kits that is mystifying me as to where it goes. I have pointed it out in the attached photo. I am showing the OER seals in this photo. In both kits, the mystery seal is the same as the the two strips of felt that the front and back of the vent ball ride on.

The OER seal kit has no instructions. The Soffseal kit has written instructions but no diagrams. They mention this seal in the instructions but the instructions are too confusing. The AIM and the Fisher Body Manual are no help either.

Also, has anyone ever used the thin round piece of rubber that is supposed to be the replacement for the rubber seal on the butterfly flap that opens and closes regulating the airflow. It is nothing compared to the original piece and doesn't look up to the job?

Thanks.....Dave

Dave, I ended up using my originals but they go in black duct for the ball to ride on.
