Put the metal one under the flywheel. That’s the one that’s a puta to change anyway. Stake it or loctite or whatever you’re comfortable with.

Order the second metal seal. Then put the rubber one under the clutch side. That one is easy to change, just pull the clutch and it’s right there. I think you’d be fine with the rubber one personally, it’s metal under the rubber coating and I’ve had lots of 2stroke motors use the coated crank seals like that with no problems. But worst case if it does fail, it’s a 10 minute job to replace it. That gets you up and running and on the road again, and in all likelihood it will be fine. But prepared for worst case scenario

I think that's really good advice right there. I would go with that plan.

You know what they say. " If it fits, it flies".
