Richard:

I am not in front of my notes today.  I went through this same process on 
(2) MB's where I replaced the elements in one and then learning of George's 
kit rebuilt the elements in the other.  Placement of those dual vacuum lines 
is important.  DO you have a way of reading the color band on the lines to 
confirm proper placement?  Or where you just replaced the one element, can 
you swap the lines to see if that changes the 'off' state placement of the 
flap?

Only other thing I would recommend is to use a vac tester if you have one 
handy to see if the other element has a leak that you can not hear just to 
see if it holds the vacuum.
