which end too big?


gsa2at - July 18th, 2009 at 11:03 PM

both ends i thought
they had black ones - the hole for the rack ball was about 12mm and needed to be about 10mm
i guess one could stick the rack into the hole with sicaflex

Clarke Rubber have them with two different hole sizes. I bought some not long ago, and had to double check the hole size.
