I’ve done several of them on six horse motors but allow yourself lots of time to do them. The original staples have to be removed and straightened and holes drilled in the new seal for the staples which get reused. The new seal wont lay flat on the hood and will require some gluing after the staples are installed. Lots of small clamps will hold it in place while the glue sets. You have to be extra careful especially if the hood has fresh paint on it so it doesn’t get scratched.
