Is the seal standard fitment, or because of the issues you had lining up the hose mentioned in your previous post? Or alternatively, there's no seal but there should be?

Feel your pain on the seat pans - mine had also rusted but not as badly as yours.

Not sure...just thought it should be sealed to try get all the air to go through the radiator ...

Sealing that is a good idea. Apparently, there can be hot air "backwashed" from the radiator that can find its way into the cabin via the backbone. My car also had a slab of foam rubber that lived under the elbow pad. I realized that one purpose of that is also to keep hot air in the backbone from coming into the cabin.
