May have been said b4 but I am trying to restore a 74 500.

Is there a way to put the new rubbers on?-go on with the jokes!

The pegs are not round and have a big end cap on them. :?:

thanx

H2B are the same, I recall using a lot of force and some silicone grease to push them past the raised key.

Yeah, brute force and some lube are about the only plan I know of too.


Can we make jokes now please???

LOL

Good Luck

PS. try warming the rubbers up before installing them, to soften the rubber

There is really no sense in trying to put rubbers on. Get a repro set from Z1 parts or somewhere and your done. The only real difference is the reproduction rests have three little holes in the end like a bowling ball and the oem ones had a single hole.
