Dirt Daubers

      In the middle of a project converting my MKIII/582 from a 2.58:1 B box to a 3.37:1
      E box, when I pulled the E box off the donor engine, discovered the inside
      area around the rubber donut was full of dirt from some sort of bees. In spite
      of my best efforts it got on the seals and the bearings. 
      Eventually everything got cleaned up and ready to reassemble, but the question
      remained; how do I keep those varmints out of there?

      Spent this afternoon installing it, pretty satisfied. This stuff is tough! Using
      a Dremel to cut it worked best. The pictures pretty well explain things. After
      I got it in place, then I bent it down tight. After I get some silver silicone,
      will also glue it to the outer gearbox case, can't think of any reason to
      remove it in the future.

      Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
