yes.

seal goes behind bucket, extends to the sides, seals to the fender when bucket is bolted down, seals to the inside of bucket when lense is bolted down.

*DONT* overtighten the lense screws, it'll break
*DONT* overtighten the bucket bolt, it'll deform your fender

ah ha ! thanks!

Say what? The seal fits over the flange of the signal bucket so that the bucket has a rubber seal to the fender and a rubber seal to the lens. I assume this is what Andy is saying. At least that is the way I saw them 30 years ago, and on all my NOS items. Absolutely do not overtighten the screws or the nut as per Andy. And the line across the lens at the one-third point goes to the bottom. Hella is read in the normal position, not upside down. This is evident from the Euro lenses.
