I could use the voice of experience here.  I picked up an ABS transmission 
tunnel cover for my 1980 Spitfire.  The idea was to replace the "paper" 
original cover (in excellent condition, other than being a bit thin for my 
taste) Of course, it did not include a rubber seal.

Luckily, I found a "transmission tunnel seal kit" at 
SpitBits.  Unfortunately, the kit consisted of a roll of seal with nothing 
else.

What is the ideal adhesive to use in gluing this type of rubber seal to the 
ABS cover prior to installation?  What works, and what have folks tried 
that is a definite no-no?  Has anyone attempted to transplant the 
plastic-covered insulation that is attached to the paperboard cover over to 
an ABS style cover?
