Hello, thanks for creating this video, really helpful! Just wandering if you could answer a question i am having. Why does the foam at the top and bottom of the back door not go along the entire width of the door?
I have never seen any SLR that had foam go along the entire width of the door. The reason they add foam on the spool-end of the door is for added protecting to the film on the take-up spool against light leaks. Over time, as the customer opens and closes the camera back door, the back door can be bent slightly or get loose at the hinge. The added foam is for light leak protection to the take-up spool film area.
I have seen rangefinder cameras that have foam along the entire width of the back door. A person could put foam along the entire width of the door of an SLR for extra protect and it would not hurt.
The film cameras made around the 70's were commercial mass made products for average people shooting pictures for small prints to show their families. No one thought about light leaks. The prints and print quality produced by the film developer were terrible. The picture prints were only 5 or 6 inches in size. Anyway, no one from that time period thought about foam or light leaks. The camera makers installed as little foam as was needed.

Hey I have a X-700 that needs the seals replaced but I’m wondering where you got your foam for this?
I don't know if they still carry imported foam for cameras, but I bought mine at www.micro-tools.com/ .
I have seen micro tools on Amazon in the past. Perhaps you could check Amazon also. There is a thick domestic foam and an imported foam from Japan. I use the imported foam because it matches the original factory foam.
