Each end appears to be held in place by a nail (I haven't smoke anything funny today)....I don't understand?....are they nails?....what are "nailed" into?....are they necessary?

Originally posted by jetboat View PostI didn't take mine out, I glued the center then stretched the seal slightly then put a small slit in the bottom of the seal and put it on the nail screw.Lou Van Anne

They must have been a fast way to secure the rubber seal, as the car came down the assembly line. No measuring, or drilling, just bang them in. I've thought a bit about the guys working on the assembly line, as I put my own car back together. Some of the tasks seem rather tough, and time consuming, and they did it in an allotted amount of time, many times a day. Even when they got good at it, it must have been tiresome work.Tom Senecal Not enough money or years to build all of the Studebakers that I think I can.

I suspect that even if there was not an automatic feeding nail gun in use, there was probably at least a pneumatic palm nailer being used.John Clary
