Please note that most of the manufacturers used glue down foam. We are not using that type of foam for this install. I have found certain issues arise when applying self stick foam such as with this finder frame.
I would advise against using any type of adhesive delay. It could contaminate the glass you have cleaned or damage the focusing screen.
It was obvious when I disassembled this C330f screen frame that Mamiya wanted frame glass spaced exactly 2mm from the back of the frame. These are the dimensions what I measured using a NSK caliper.
The issue with installing the back seal is when you have put the right and left glass holders in place. This seal needs be placed 1st.
I usually find the center of foam by either measuring or folding the seal in half then, with a sharp tweezers point, just slight mark in the adhesive, that mark will mean nothing when the seal is placed. If you use only the long piece, you will need place the seal in the center of the frame, carefully keeping both ends up enough to slide the glass in place against the back seal then sliding the glass holder underneath and pressing the seal down at the ends. Install the screws in the glass holders.
Alternately you can use the 3-piece back seal parts. Those three pieces combined are the same length as the long seal.
Place the long seal centered in the finder frame and press it firmly in place. Then. place the finder glass against the foam, put the glass holders in place and install the screws. Place the 2 smaller pieces at each end.
Now install the remaining seals per the placement guide.
