Keith,
my original rubbers were brittle and falling apart. I had a piece of
automotive door trim lying around and it fit perfectly. Windshield trim
should work, also. You only need a total of 5 or 6 inches.

Hi Keith,

From the factory, the voltage regulator mounting bracket rested on the
rear fender, separated by two strips of protecting rubber - one at the
top and one at the bottom. When I put mine back together, I reused the
original rubber pieces - reattached with a little adhesive. I'm not
certain what other guys have done?

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?
