FAQs

What material are these buffers made from?

They are made from durable synthetic rubber.

How do I mount these buffers?

Each buffer has two pre-drilled holes for easy mounting with screws or bolts (not included). You will need to drill pilot holes into your mounting surface.

What is the standoff depth of these buffers?

The standoff depth is 38mm.

Can I use these buffers on the exterior of my vehicle?

Yes, they can be fitted internally or externally. Ensure they are securely mounted to withstand external conditions.

What is the overall size of one buffer?

Each oval buffer has a total length of 72mm and a total width of 38mm.

What is the purpose of the 38mm standoff?

The standoff creates a gap between the buffer and the surface it's mounted on, allowing it to absorb impacts more effectively by providing cushioning space.

Are screws or bolts included with the 10-pack?

No, screws or bolts are not included as the appropriate type and length will vary depending on the mounting surface.

Troubleshooting

Buffer not staying in place

Ensure the mounting screws/bolts are fully tightened and suitable for the surface material. Check if the mounting surface itself is structurally sound.

Excessive vibration or noise

Verify that the buffer is correctly installed and securely fastened. A loose buffer can sometimes cause additional noise.

Rubber showing signs of cracking or degradation

This may indicate prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme UV light. Clean with mild soap and water. If degradation is severe, consider replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption capabilities.
  • Durable synthetic rubber construction ensures longevity.
  • Protects surfaces effectively against impact damage.
  • Simple to install with pre-drilled holes.
  • Versatile for various industrial and recreational vehicles/structures.
  • Cost-effective solution in a 10-pack.

Cons

  • Standoff distance may be too large for some specific applications.
  • Requires drilling for installation.
  • Black finish may show scuffs over time.
  • Not designed for continuous high-frequency impact.
  • Synthetic rubber may degrade under extreme UV exposure over long periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the optimal mounting location for impact absorption.
  2. Align the buffer, ensuring the two pre-drilled holes are accessible on the mounting surface.
  3. Mark the hole positions.
  4. Drill pilot holes if necessary, depending on the mounting surface material.
  5. Secure the buffer using appropriate screws or bolts (not included) for the specific application. Ensure a tight fit to maximize stability.

Compatibility:

These buffers are compatible with a wide range of surfaces including metal, wood, and sturdy plastics commonly found on trucks, trailers, horse boxes, motor homes, and industrial doors. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound to support the buffer and withstand impacts.

Care:

Clean the rubber buffers periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Mild soap can be used for tougher grime. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic rubber. Inspect regularly for signs of wear and tear and replace if significantly damaged to maintain optimal performance.
