How does foam go on 2072 firewall?
 
Just a couple small bits of foam were still on the firewall of my 2072 when I got it. I have the new pieces of foam, but how are they supposed to go on. I know the wide piece goes on the bottom and the long piece on top. It seems like they are too long to just make a circle. A picture would be a lot of help.
Thanks,
Geoffrey

The foam just makes a circle around the blower inlet. No big deal. Pic is the best I could do for you. # 14&15

So just the ends of #15 have anything to stick to? There's nothing else down there on the firewall. Or does it actually stick to the bottom of the blower housing?

Here is a pic of an 1872, looks like the foam is glued to the fire wall.

Yes, just like Sam said the top goes on the firewall. The other piece goes (attaches) on the bottom of the blower housing. It seals against the engine mounting plate.

Maybe this pic will help, you can see the one in the foreground but also notice in the background is another machine with the same foam setup. Hope this helps :beerchug:

Ryan, the foam setup on the V-Twins is different from the H-Opposed motors. On the V-Twins, all the foam goes on the firewall. On the opposed, one half on the firewall, other half on the blower housing. :beerchug:

Ok, that makes a lot more sense now. I just couldn't imagine the bottom piece staying on long if it was stuck to the firewall. There was nothing to go by on my 2072 and my 782 has had most of the stuff under the hood parted out already.

Thanks for the pictures guys!
