Bob,

I thought they could be handed and tried to install the rebound rubbers in e=
very possible combination with the same result. When I compare the new to ol=
d the alignment peg is on a different side relative to the taper in the rubb=
er.

I did think of using the 60 year old but the other one has started to delami=
nate.

I am beginning to think either the rebound rubber is the wrong part or it wa=
s made incorrectly.

    Obvious/dumb/insulting question: IIRC the rubbers are 'handed;' are
    they both wrong the same way?<br>
    <br>
    To tell you the truth, your 60YO rubbers look pretty good. I'd be
    tempted to reuse them; the contemporary aftermarket ones aren't
    quality, obviously. I've seen them start to delaminate and/or sag
    almost immediately. Because they sag, I think it's best to adjust
    the gap when they're installed with the engine. I got a bunch of
    fender washers and cut slots in them so they could slide past the
    stud.<br>
