Anyone use the heater box gasket from GMC Paul's?

That round gasket that glues behind the fan and socks up against the front of the cab: I have the one from GMC Paul's and intend to use it in the coming days. Has anyone here used it?

Is it "up to snuff?"

I can't speak for Pauls gasket.

But what I did too install it was used 3m weather strip glue(just a thin smear around its seating).
A large diameter worm drive hose clamp(not cranked on just snug)

A good clean flat surface and a book or two too level out the heater box.
Once clamped I put the box gasket side "down" and put just a lil' weight between the core tubes too help keep the gasket seated. Let dry

I suppose you could try a large/long zip tie instead of a hose clamp.
This worked for me.

Oh geeze! I had not thought of how it would need to be clamped while the sealer was drying. Thanks! I guess reinstallation will have to wait one more day.

Anyone else? Hate to glue this thing down and then regret it.

Worked fine for me. No issues at all

Well good! I somehow ended up with two of those and I read on here that the one from Classic Industries is more like the size of the original but I don't want to have to order yet another gasket.

I'll go with the one I have (GMC Paul's). Thanks man.
