In addition, we have many different strips of light seal material already cut to width and 220 mm long here.

USCamera General Installation Guidelines
Next, take all of the seals out of the kit and lay them out on your work area.
This 6 piece custom light seal kit includes,
Lower channel seal, camera body – 1 x 1mm
Upper channel seal, camera body – 1 x 1mm
Hinge seal, camera body – 1 x 1mm
Bottom small channel seal, hinge end back cover – 1 x 1mm
Top small channel seal, hinge end back cover – 1 x 1mm
Mirror cushion – 1 x 2mm
Tech Note 1. Looking at the mirror cushion area you will see a metal baffle plate with 2 screws. The screws retain the baffle plate only. Also, easier to replace the mirror cushion with the plate removed. However, the cushion used on this camera is a foam cushion covered with a flocking material. Very unique. Unless for some reason this cushion has been damaged, it should not need to be replaced.
Channel seals, back cover
On the hinge end of the film back, place the small channel seals in place by butting them up against the hinge seal, as pictured
Hinge seal, camera body
This seal is installed by centering the seal between the upper and lower door channels on the back cover.
Door channel seals, camera body
When installing the channel seals on the camera body, always start at the hinge side and work to the left.
Mirror cushion
Install this cushion only if needed. see Tech Note 1
