Kelvin and Dennis,
I just installed the very same Moss seal in a '75 B and the only trick
to getting it in was to soap up the back of the seal where it wants to
rub against the paint. I slick it up with (yes) KY Jelly. It's water
based and evaporates after a day or so. A gentle push downward on the
heater box it goes in well.
Cheers,
Lew Palmer

Dennis:
Your post brought up some vague recollections from my sordid past. I
think
you are quite correct and have un-earthed a Mossism. I think the seal
is
correct for the MGA, but definitely is not correct as is for the B. The
seal may be suitable after the back lip is trimmed. I'll take one home
tonight and check it on my 79B which still has the heater out.
I'll let you know tomorrow, and make sure any changes are noted and
acted
upon.
Kelvin.
