Keith,
I think they came with some sort of rubber or plastic grommet
installed on the edges of the bracket to protect the paint. You could
always take a piece of small diameter vacuum tubing, slit it down it's
length, and slip it over the edges of the VR bracket. Put some glue,
silly seal, or Gorilla Snot on it to hold it in place.
Got any more progress pics?

Installed the rear fender and tool boxes last eve. I have a question on mounting the VR. It's been a few months since I tore the Ambo apart and can't remember how the VR mounted. The VR is mounted to the standard bracket that has arms. The arms mount to each side of the fender where the top bolt of the tool boxes also attach. The bracket backing is curved on top and bottom to match the curve of the fender. My question is, should this bracket not touch the fender at all (which is how I have it mounted now- there is a gap between the bracket and the fender), or is it supposed to rest on the rear fender? If it is supposed to rest on the rear fender, should there be something in between to prevent any rattling and paint wear? I guess I could just squeeze some weather stripping or velcro type material in the gap to take up the space, prevent a rattle, and save the paint from being scratched?
