<VV> staples on LM engine to body seal

[Harry Yarnell]

I too recall an LA car with SOME (one?) of the retainers stapled. Believe
me, it isn't the easiest seal to install fast, so anything to speed up assy
on the assembly line would have helped. Even one retainer stapled would have
started the installation faster.
I've often wondered how difficult and time consuming procedures were done on
the assembly line such as this. Brake bleeding and A/C charging also come to
mind.

Which goes a long way in explaining why LOS kept with the staples, after WRN
had deleted them (presumably after central engineering would have issued
revised assembly instructions calling for deletion of the staples), namely
ease of manufacturing.
