They're bigger, and look like three donuts stacked up, smallest on top, getting bigger twards the base. I think they're split bus ones? Someone will have a decent picture! Nice thing is that they're hollow, so you can stick some heater pipe or something like that inside to stiffen them up even more if necessary.

the black Dairy Queen soft serves?  I cut about 1/2" off the top of mine because I got sick of the "CLONK CLONK" through the canyons around here. |

ah ok...i know the ones.....how do they fit though....do they fit instead of the normal snubbers on the beetle metal piece that attaches to the spring plate? or do i need the split bus version of that piece to go with them? thanks everyone! |

You just pop off the old ones and put the new ones on. A little white grease helps.
