For those of you who have removed and re installed the carbs to put the drip pans in place can you clarify for me where the O ring for the carb mount bracket was? The O ring I see is that which is installed on the intake manifold. The bracket O ring Van refers to in instructions then is the mating O ring half attached to the mount bracket? Is this considered to be an O ring or is simply a sufficient seal for the bracket to drip pan?
Appreciate your feedback.

There is a loose O ring in a circular groove in the aluminum intake manifold. There is a second integral O ring that is molded into the "carb. mount flange".

I am pretty sure the instructions specify that both of the O rings are supposed to remain in their original locations (though the integral O ring really can't be move because it is molded into the carb. mount flange).

The drip tray is intended to be installed between the two O rings so that they seal the drip tray on the fwd and aft side.

Thanks, Scott. I saw the integral O ring, but wondered whether that was a sufficent seal. Appreciate the feedbck.
