Abstract
A plate-like sealing element and method of making are disclosed by the specific embodiments of an engine air box cover and a water elbow attaching flange. The sealing members are formed from plate material using fine blanking to define the edges and partial shearing to accurately form a sealing groove along one surface and a stiffening rib extending from an opposite surface in a location directly opposite the sealing groove to further stiffen the sealing member.
