By the way, these overriders can be repaired, which I have done twice.
Just remove the old rusted nut (if it hasn't already fallen out), epoxy
in a suitable nut if necessary, and then cover that with a thin piece of
stock, screwed into the rubber, with a hole cut out for the nut.
And, by the way, black liquid shoe polish is the best thing for bringing
life back to the overriders ... NOT ArmorAll.
