Just trying to get a sense of this so as not to make this mistake again with additional purchases.

Thanks.
This is one of the big problem with Chinese rubbers
The Hurricane 3 that I have is 163 mm in width & 165 mm in height

But Japanese rubbers are so expensive LOL

I don't mind paying a couple of dollarsd more for Chinese rubbers if they are large enough.
I have a 170 mm custom blade

The bug problem is that most dealers do not list rubber & blade widths and lengths etc on their websites
