Default Inherited some coilover sleeves, but rubber rings are missing....suggestions?

Okay I juss inherited some coilover sleeves from a friend of mine who juss had his civic re-ended by the local public transit bus....

anyways.....so he gave me his coilover sleeves.....which I plan to put onto my daily driver.....

the only downside is that I have no rubber rings that secure the sleeve to the shock?

can anyone recommend what would be a solid way to secrure these things...

thanks for your help

It may be ghetto but it works....use strong tape. Like Electrical tape or duct tape. Go around the shock a few times and make sure the sleeve sits nice and snug. Don't force it down cuz then the sleeves will be a bitch to take off later on. Just make sure the tape is on there nice and tight with no sloppy ends. It worked like a charm for me.

that will work.... or you can just go to the hardware store and buy a whole bunch of o-rings to make it fit snugly.
