[Tigers] heater core installation

[Peter Laurinaitis]

quick questions (didnt find an answer on TE/AE site):

(1) when re-assembling the heater core, what kind of gasket/stripping do folks
use to plant the core down against the base of the "box", silicone rubber for
heat resistance?  can seem to find the right stripping, preferably
self-adhesive.  should the stripping run around the bottom hole, and also up
the back and top of the core (like in the diagram on SS web site)?

(2) for the rubber duckbill piece - is it best to install this part from within
the car, or from the box the heater core resides in?

(3) anyone hanging onto a spare duckbill they'd be willing to sell, mine was
cracked, hardened and shredded from the arizona heat

thks!
