Post by: Neil Davies on November 13, 2009, 16:48:49 pm 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.

I cut about 1/2" off the top of mine because I got sick of the "CLONK CLONK" through the canyons around here. Title: Re: type 2 rear snubbers....whats the deal??
