Really ?
Couldn't someone with a little bit of skill just gather those items and do it for like 30 $ ?
Which seals are those ? And all i need is a little piece of sheet metal cut into a little egg like shape right ?
Who knows, i'm to poor to buy things any more, all i want is the " Home made " setups

" Dieselnerd: I bought a bolt that was about 1/4" longer and used high strength Loctite on the bolt. I made the tab out of a 2" fender washer with a 1/4" hole, had to use a rat tail file to enlarge it slightly to fit the metric bolt. I used a hacksaw to cut the tab to size. I used a new gasket and seal on the cover. I used Permatex spray on both sides of the gasket. The seal was a real pain like Rebel said. Kept going in crooked. I finally bolted the damper back over the seal tool that came with the seal and pressed it in that way. That method pushes it almost all the way in to where it should be. The cover is bolted on but not tightened down. You put the seal installer into the cover to center the hole in the cover over the crank and then tighten the bolts. The service manual is very specific about this. Then you slip a plastic sleeve into the seal to keep it from deforming as it slips over the crankshaft end. You tap the seal with the installer to get it started and then pull out the sleeve. "

The tab is $1 at Cummins. I will let them make it instead of trying to save .24 cents and an hour of time. The seal comes from Cummins as well and is around $40 depending on your pricing. The seal installer comes in the seal and is a breeze to install. I have never had to use the damper or anything special to get the seal on. And you'll need a little locktite and some UltraBlack. Done.
It's easy to over think this stuff. BTW, the stock bolt works just fine with the Cummins tab.

The seal and tab kit from TNT are like $20. It was worth that to me just so that after I had the truck apart I wasn't sittin there tryin to make a tab. It was ready to put back together within minutes, no questions asked.
I would suggest that with the liquid gasket on the cover you let it set for a while to get tacky before you put the cover back into place on the truck. For me anyway it took some movin around to get the cover in the right spot and i jacked up the gasket seal some doin it. If it would have hardened up little first I would have had the problem.
