Yes, I used a couple of pieces of rubber that were about 1/4" thick. My
friend gave them too me, so I can't tell you where he got them. I think
it was an industrial supply place. They were cut to the same size as the
overrider bracket where it meets the body. I think it looks fine, and
alot better than the overrider.
