This portion right here, this is what the Forbidden seals don’t address. I need to see what I can come up with.

Something else I just noticed, the trailing edge of the seal is much bigger/wider than the top portion. While I think the Forbidden seals get the job done, and will work fine for now, I see myself picking up some oem seals in the future.

No idea if Vaikhari and Ballade are related, but they offer the metal pieces. $99 seems reasonable for the pair.
