Dave,
You have to clue the corner piece to the main piece with super-glue.
I'm unsure of what type is used locally in the USA.
 
 BTW I recently purchased the DIY-RE 13B Rebuild CD( X 4) see www.diy-re.co.nz it cost me $145 Aust about $110 US and does cover quite a bit of detail - I'm not unhappy with spending the money.
It does only cover the engine itself

In Bruce's video he talks about putting the corner piece of the apex seal toward the front of the engine.  But with Tracy's seals the corner piece is not attached. So I cannot get the apex seal spring to slide in because the corner piece (now down at the bottom of the slot) has slid back a little.
 
If I put the corner piece toward the rear of the engine, I am able to get everything in place just fine.
 
Is there any problem with putting the corner pieces in last (toward the rear of the engine)?
