The auxiliary pieces are correct, the pillar seals are close, but not quite. I can probably modify them, but I'll find out tomorrow if Steele has the correct ones. They sold me 4478800 and 4478801 which fit many GM large cars. The Toro seals are 4536835 and 4536836. At least now that I've found the originals I can figure this little puzzle piece out. Who knows, I may just re-use the originals, they're not in bad shape.

If you want, I can send pics, the auxiliary pieces look to be a bit different than yours.

Interesting. I'm tempted to take mine off and look at them to see if there's an extra screw hole underneath.

Pictures would be priceless, closeups. Steele is not correct on this seal, but it may be potentially modifiable (and they have been hugely helpful).

Thanks!!

Mark, which ones are you talking about now? Are the auxilliary ones correct but the others aren't?

A few close-ups would be most appreciated. The Steele piece may be modifiable, or I may go with the old ones if need be.

Steele is not quite correct (these were made for Impala, Bonneville, 98 etc.) However, having found the old ones, I think I can modify the new, and Steele has been very helpful.

That's good because the pictures I took with my shoe phone were so crappy I didn't want to send them to you. Are the old ones usable?
