Default Cowl to fender rubber on 48 F1

I'm in the process of putting my 48 F1 together and am having a problem of where the cowl to fender rubber starts and ends. There were no instructions with the rubber parts when I got it. Does anyone have any photos so I can do this job right?

Thanks, Chuck

Here is how I did the ones I just installed on my brothers F1. Hope these help.

I cut mine like toby's at the bottom. I like the wrapped look of okie's but I'd be afraid of trapping water in the bottom tuck - a dry climate would be different.

What are you guys using to keep the rubber in place? Looks like originally they were put in with heavy staples. Did you have to remove the fenders or were you able to tuck them in? Thank you

I guess there's a third way to do it. I ran mine all the way down to the bottom of the fender, below the running board, and the little filler pieces at the front of the running boards fit right into it.

I didn't use any glue, it pretty much snaps onto the edge of the fender. Once the fender is tightened, it ain't going anywhere.
