Finally got J's bumper installed today. Looks awesome.

I've got 2 questions for you J. The swing arms take alot of force to open and close. Probably 20lbs. Should i sand down the brass bushings?
And this doesn't look quite right to me

I was thinking of just putting another cap on the top. Where did you get them?. Or maybe cut the post down to size?
G, that was one of the first bumpers made. I use to keep the spindles long, but started cutting them off for looks. You could zip disc the excess off. If you don't want to cut the spindle and want to add another collar to the top. They are a set shaft collar.

The arms can be firm and do loosen a bit over time, 3 in 1 oil and weight installed helps. You can lightly sand the inside of the brass bushing to get it moving smoother as well.
