General Guidelines for placing this Ricoh XR7 light seal kit.
Door channel seals, camera body. Install the upper and lower camera body channel seals starting at the hinge side on the camera body, working from right to left. The upper channel has the counter actuation lever. You will need to install this seal as close to each side of the counter lever opening as possible, cutting as required.
Door channel seals, back cover, hinge side. Install these upper and lower back cover channel seals on the back cover, starting at the hinge side, where the channel begins and work to the right.
Hinge Seal, camera body. Install this seal on the camera body, hinge side, centering it between the top and bottom door channels.
Latch plate seal, back cover. Center this seal on the latch pin and place the seal 6.5mm from the edge of the film back as the image shows below. Firmly press in place once you have it positioned properly.
The most important and time-consuming work is removing the old seals. Focus on clean, clean, clean. Clean the old residue from the door channels, mirror cushion area, door hinge area and anywhere else you are replacing the seals. The finest adhesive in the world will not adhere to that sticky, gooey residue that was once a quality light seal. Proper installation will give you thousands of light tight exposures.
