brady seal install

[Kurt Ickler]

An update on our Lx livingroom seal replacement. Everything is "opened up" with the old seal removed. We discovered that the stem/hose assembly was in the wrong location. The correct location ( for our 2001 Lx ) should be 135.25 back from the front of the slide seal track. I believe that this might be one of the first Lx installs and this dimension "bust" is just now surfacing. Not a big deal, the seal is on its way to Roger Anderson/DRI and will be reworked and FedEXed out the same day...great service! We also highlighted that the 3/4" stem hole in the track is off center and DRI believes they can off center the stem in the new location. We drilled a small exploritory hole ( in the seal track) to see if we could use the seal "as is"....that lay out put us dead center into another framing member of the bus....back to back "C" channel forming an "I" beam ledger that captures the edge of the floor joists... the existing stem hole completely misses this framing member....We should be back on track and have project completed this week end.
