Hi all just lookin at the bump rubbers on the front end of my ek this mornin to work out how much clearance ive got to lower it after its rego'd and was wondering how they attach, ithink it was fbmad that said you can cut them down and reshape them are they a bolt that runs up into the rubber with a nut on the end?

I forgot to say that it is a stock front end if that makes any difference,cheerz

See my post that Billy refers to.
The kingpin front end bump rubbers are a push in fit.Prise the old ones out with a screwdriver.Clean out the rust,dirt and shit where the bump rubber is to be pushed into and coat the bump rubber in some detergent,rubber grease or WD40 or something and push the new rubber in.Can be a pain in the arse to push in ( the bump rubber I'm referring to,you deviots

) sometimes but persevere and it will go in.

Thanx fellas,must be a tight fit(the bump rubber that is)you deviots

if it holds itself in place,thinking of dropping the front about 2 to 2 1/2 inches and the rear 3 inches once ive got it through rwc etc,thanx again terry.
