mine are plenty big enough.
Did you get around to measuring the bits of rubber for me ?
Is it these that you mean you are finding it hard to compress ?`

Are they the ally ones? If so then yes, mine were incredibly tight. I had to take any excess paint off the rack where the mount goes and just fettle
things a bit.

I had the same problem, very tight and required my car building skills  to get them to fit!

I had problems with the mount at the pinion end.
The housing isn't flat sided like the original racks, and needed flattening a bit with a file, and the transition from the flats to the rounded
top needed rerounding as well, then the mounts dropped over with no probs.
Cheers,
Nev.
