An adjustable elastomeric seal assembly for accommodating gap tolerances consists of a rubber seal supported by a retainer, the latter consisting of a substrate and a plurality of shims. The assembly is joined as an integral structure and the shims may be peeled individually to fit gap dimensions. Preferably, the substrate thickness equals the minimum gap dimension and together with the plural shims equals or exceeds the maximum gap dimension to provide several selectable combined thicknesses therebetween. The thickness of the rubber seal is greater than the maximum gap dimension but provides suitable sealing as well as the minimum dimension. |
