I did mine on an 83 Westy a few years ago, and it invoved a lot of baby
powder, a careful attempt at not stretching the rubber too much (but you
will have to pull it a bit) and finally a few dabs of black RTV to fill in
a few gaps and cracks. Have fun, and figure on working a few hours to get
it even.
