Default Parts that don't fit

Ordered upper rubber bumpers for the rumble seat, old ones fit but had been painted. Parts arrived, looked great, alto nut sure what they were made for. The upper portion measured at 0.5", and only need to be 0.25" high, sat them on the table for a time contemplating what to do. The solution was to head to the wood shop, drill a 2x4 block with a 0.875" forstner bit to hold the bumper, set the band saw to cut them to the desired height, sand them a bit to smooth the surface. The rear portion had to be cut down with a knife to fit into the bracket, but all fit well.
