Only semi-assembled. You can thread the "frying pan handle" of the big piece 
partly thru the appropriate slot in the base pan, like it shows in the 
service bulletins, but it would be impossible to insert it fully assembled. 
The top piece flexes horizontally and the bottom piece flexes vertically, so 
they would pop apart. (If anybody ever makes repros... try an oval shape!) 
Don't over squeeze it either. It's pretty flexible but not indestructible. 
Then slip the two into mating position and cram down on them until it snaps 
together. 
For my money... I'd track one down from a parts car, if none of the vendors 
can supply one.
