Howdy, I ordered a rear gasket for obvious reasons, a month or so ago from CDan, And I amfinally putting it in (i got away lucky with only surface rust in a few spots)
Just noticed upon install of the new one, that there is two outer "lips" now. I say now cause my old one definitely only had one. There is a deep seam for the pinch weld, and then on the outside of that a second, thicker but not as deep seam....wondering what eveyone thinks the change was for i.e. air space to help the trapped water dry out/drain? i have carefully studied the old one and it was not present and was not nearly as beefy.
cheers
if it is hard to visualize i'll snap a shot in the morning
