Hi,
New user here. In the near future I need to replace the oil pan gasket on my 67 200ci mustang. I have done this before and the shop gave me a Fel-Pro OS12701C gasket set. The cork on this gasket fits correctly, but the front and back rubber seals do not look like the old ones. The difference is that the groves that fit onto the oil pan's groves are on the wrong side (face up toward the engine instead of fitting onto the oil pan's groves). If I reverse the new seal and put the groves onto the oil pan, then end tabs do not sit onto the cork correctly. I have taken a few pictures to show this, and added some old ones that I found on another forum.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a different gasket I should be using or am I doing something wrong?
