Paul,
1. Just use a light very fine dullish silver for the instrument pod. There
really isn't a "correct" shade.
2. I believe this has already been covered fairly well, but here we go
again.
The furflex door seal glues in behind the door panel as 3 pieces. One runs
full length down the front edge. One short one fits above the door latch
opening and onte fis from the latch opening down to the bottom.
One more piece of furflex runs down from the top of the scuttle seal, tucked
in behind the windscreen post. At the base of the windscreen post the
furflex tail notches to jump inboard and from there to the bottom it's glued
to the inside edge of the front kick panels.
All these furflex seals have the ends carefully trimmed and turned back into
itself and glued so a finished look is achieved with no open rubber tube
showing.
Finally, a piece of 1/4 round rubber is glued to the inside corner surface
along the bottom of the door from front to back, even with the end of the
inner door casing. This will close along the outboard edge of the alloy sill
threshold plate.
Pictures accompany all.
