Frank and others,
Are
you sure that the curve goes toward the driver?  The way that I now have
tried the bottom seal is with the curve going away from the driver.  That 
way
it continues under the stanchion mounts and following the stanchions
curvature. (even though the seal will get trimmed so that the stanchions and
scuttle are metal to metal).  I wish I had a picture to go by.
Paul
