I have a LF&B door in my kitchen and I an going to open up the top section and fit a double glazed unit in there. What would be the best way of fitting the glass against the beads, silicone or putty or a rubber seal.

Yes, but that's being removed. It isn't attached to the actual door frame just the timber on the front of the door which is what is being removed to replace with the glass unit.

When I installed some DG units in wooden frames, I used plastic spacers
to hold the DG unit up from the bottom of the rebate.
