from the 3 EK's i've played with, they all had rubber spacers between the quarter and bumper, which the bolts go through the middle of. I think they're about a 1/2 inch thick just with a hole in the centre for the bolt. I'm sure clark rubber should have something you can use for that

The ones in my car look just like the rubber donuts which come with sock absorbers to go between the pin and the body on the back of FBEK sedans.

Or go to the hardware shop and get some old fashion doorstops,
they might do the trick as well.
