When the unfortunate occurrence of hitting a pothole (or similar) happens, I get a knock or noise that sounds like the cluster is hitting the speaker / ignition surround.

Is there some kind of 'rubber baby buggy bumper' between the two? (I'm aware of the 2 upper rubber mounts on the cluster itself)

What is the normal clearance between these 2 pieces?

The Wifes F6B cluster is a bit further away from the surround than mine,,,

Again, never a noise or rattle unless I hit something 'unexpected'.

Should I quit jumping curbs?
