Here is an odd question for you Type I engine car owners. When the breast plate (the piece of engine tin that goes at the back (pully side) of the engine) is installed without the rubber engine seal, how much space (front to back) is there between the breast plate and the channel that the rubber engine seal fits in.
The reason I ask is because I had to replace the entire back portion of my car and now I can't fit the breast plate in place. I'm going to have to trim it and I need to know what the correct spacing should be.
If you could email me with the response that would be helpful because I sometimes forget to check back here.
Thanks, Gary
