Following on this thread.  How do you fit new rubbers to the tailgate irons?

  You would have to split the rubber length ways  ,place it on the bar
  then super glue the rubber together again .

    easiest way l think.

I would think the rubber would be slid on and then the rod cold formed in a jig.
Very hard to reproduce the look with a vice and a hammer Tongue

They are a weird kind of rubber.
I reckon they are formed in a mould around the rod ?

At a guess the rubber would have been moulded on to the iron assembly.

Cheers to Ken, Pete and John.  Not worth the tooling now I suppose so fcwagoon's solution seems the go. Unless one of you enterprising fellows wants to rise to the challenge.

That would depend on how much money you would like to spend on it.

I can cut them out of rubber on the water jet with a slot in one side idont think they would need glueing as it would hold its form.
