Corvair Fiends,

Several years ago, someone mentioned to me that a VW Type II engine
shrouding seal would work on a Corvair.  At least I think that's what it
was.  Has anyone tried this?  Does it work well?  I went into my FLAP dealer
here and asked for a "VW Type II engine seal" and the guy looked at me like
I was from a different planet.

What is the technical name for this part, and is this the correct part?  Is
there a website where I can order one online?

Thanks,

Blaine

Go in and ask for the perimeter seal from a 1977 Type II (Bus)   That will 
get you the right one.

My experience was on an early...  worked great   installed in about 20 min.

I imagine it would work on a late too. Anybody ever done that?
