    Hey all,

    Just doing some unrelated work on the front of the car (New founders headlights) and noticing that the gaskets between the front ducts and radiators are not a great fit. It also looks like there are holes on the duct to radiator mating surface that could allow it to be drilled and riveted together, although they are not. At least it looks like they could be mated up with rivets on the left side. The right side has a different fitment since it has the AC condenser mated to the radiator as well.

    That being said, I don't know what the normal factory fitment looks like and this may indeed be "just how it is". Checked the workshop manual as well as parts diagrams on Ricambi and don't see any pictures or reference to the gaskets at all. Pictures are attached. Do you think I should do any tweaking or just leave it alone? No issues that I am aware of with cooling, etc. Car is running strong.

    Excuse the messy garage..just moved into it and I haven't installed the cabinets yet! ; )

    Thanks for any guidance!

    Thanks man! Yah the foam is there it is just kind of inconsistent in the fitment and also in suspect shape given how old it is. Really appreciate the pic!
