I noticed my front suspension bump stop is just about completely gone. I've looked up the part # and it seems to be obsolete. Anyone know of a comparable part without too much modification?
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

There is but am away from home so can’t look it up. If you can wait until the new year, I’ll revert.
I went beefier at the front and added the ones you can get from Tony Wood at the back...more to save / help the displacers than anything else.
Cheers and Happy Christmas
Andrew

Yes, agreed it's an important component to reduce the risk of damage to the hydrolastic diaphragm etc. Also something you don't want to be missing if the system depressurises when driving. The rear ones can be overlooked as they are not so easy to see. David There is but am away from home so can’t look it up. If you can wait until the new year, I’ll revert.

I found alternatives for all the bump stops, but pictures have disappeared. Probably somewhere on the Photobucket account.
Chris.

Has anyone found the solutions/part/picture yet? I really need to work on a remedy for this. Thanks.

I believe the mini bump stop can be used but you may have to drill fixing holes less tha a fiver each from minispares

I modified one of my upper front bump stops earlier this week, after getting ideas searching this forum for the phrase "bump stop". I cut off the old badly crumbling rubber from the old bump stop and drilled a hole in the centre. I used a TR6 rear suspension buffer (part no. 136758) mainly because I already had one (and I don't have a Triumph) - it's like the Mini ones we use for rear bump stops but larger. i.e. a rubber cone with a threaded rod poking out of it. I shortened the threaded part so when I poke it through the new hole in the old bumpstop it wouldn't poke out beyond the box. I then ground a nut to be a bit thinner so there was room for it and a lockwasher in the box of the bump stop too. Lastly, I cut the tip of the rubber cone off so it would be a similar height and shape as the old one. Hopefully, my description will make sense with these pictures. One shows the nut in the box part, the other shows it beside a good bump stop from the other side of the car.  |

Good to know, I haven't taken the bump stop off yet, so I didn't know how they were attached. And even better, I have a TR6 and spare parts.
Thanks
