Bumper Update
Well the rubber bumpers are in from the far east and this is what I have:
Reff to the last thread (from BANGKOK). SEE PHOTOS
The two bumpers are of the same height as in tall but the new bumper is a slight wider, and as for the bumper height, it is lower than the original.
Okay when I put one bumper on the right side of the body it did not come into contact with the gate, but that is because one set of hinge bolts of the four hinges for the gate were hitting the frame resting the bolts on the surface. So I have a bit of a warp on the gate or the surface. Looked at the one on the left side and the gate make contact with the bumper nicely. With that said each gate is going to be a little different I guess.
As for the bumpers I am going to use them for now as the seem to work and is better than nothing. As you can see in the photos the hole are perfect for mounting right down to the nub and recessed hole.
If you want a set you can go to the
Ebay link on the last thread or you can do a search on
Ebay and fine a company in Trout Dale OR that had them for $20
I am still trying to fine some blocks of hard rubber to cut and shape my own to OEM look alike. So with the said, on with life and I will live with these for awhile.
