Exactly.  Split them and position them while they sit on the frame with thic=
k wire.  It's fairly simple to replicate the factory twist and bend over the=
 twisted end.
Same as the TR3. =20
On my TR3 street/vintage race car, I shaved the cushion to almost nothing fo=
r more suspension travel.=20

 How do you put on a new rear axle buffer.  I will have the axles out of the=
 tube but there is still a sizeable end flange on the tube to slip over.  Is=
 the technique to heat the rubber buffer up and stretch it over?=20

      Those two rubber buffers should be split on one end. They are
      attached to the axle using two sets of large gauge wire that is
