My original firewall seal was cracked and not savable, so I ordered a new one (not sure from where now, since I'd had it for years before I needed it and no longer had the plastic bag). Like above, it was far too thick, and wouldn't even allow the cowl to slide down far enough to bolt to the frame. I spent an hour or two using a mini belt sander (from Harbor Freight--one of the handiest tools ever) and sanded the hump off the entire new seal until it matched the profile of my old one. That did the trick, but it was a messy job. Not sure why someone can't make a correct seal for these.
