Re: Rabbit Bumpers

[Sal Guzzo <yu129742@yorku.ca>]

At the time when I bought my euro's for my rabbit, I had considered the
same thing.However, I believe that the Rabbit bumpers are shorter than the
rocco.  The won't fit.  The shocks, I think, do line up but the length of
the bumpers do differ.  However,  I'm sure that with mods you can get them
to work.....I don't want to be the one, though, to try it.
