You can find this seal on Transporter buses from the 3rd generation from 05/79 till the end  of the installation of the aircooled engines in 12/82. These seals have the purpose to seal the opening between the engine tin and the body, so that the heat of the exhaust won’t reach the engine bay. The seal is very susceptible to changes in temperature, as it comes in direct contact with the engine cooling tin, resulting in worn and torn rubber that needs to be replaced in order to fulfil for what it has been designed for. From now on we can deliver this seal as a good reproduction from stock.
