    Front Bumper Seal (1) Piece or (3) Piece?

    I am getting ready to install the front bumper on my '70E project. I have two types of front seals. One is a (1) piece seal from Stoddard and the other is a (3) piece seal from IMC. I have done trial installations of the center section of both types and find the fit of the (3) piece to be better. The one piece seems to need some trimming around the transition from the latch panel to the horn grills. I recall reading somewhere that the (3) piece is more original.

    So my questions are:

    1. Which is the correct seal or is there a "correct" seal?

    2. Looking at the photo of the of the latch to horn grill transition with the (3) piece seal, how do the the hood. center and fender seals butt together? Is it like I've shown or does the hood seal get trimmed shorter and the fender seal butts to the center seal? Should the joints be glued together and what glue will work best?

    3. If the (1) piece seal is correct, how does it get trimmed to make the transition from the latch panel to the horn grill area?

    Any all all help appreciated!
