Sliding Pillar Bump Stops... What Do You Use?

[Guest charliemi16]

Hi guys,

 

I'm sure I've seen a post with this in, but I've had a good trawl, and can't find anything.

 

So, I'm nearly ready to rebuild it all now, but need some lower bump stops.

 

What do people use?

 

Thanks

suposed to be the bump stop from the old strut..... but anything rubber will do... i used a bit of conveyor belt cut into a ring

I bought some anti vibration mounts off ebay and drilled a hole

Through them they have a built in top and bottom washer built in too

Thanks guys,

 

Maccavvy, I don't suppose you have a link to the ones you bought do you? I'm struggling to find any with suitable dimensions.

i bought mine over 2 years ago dude.

You will need a rubber section with a woven inner. conveyor belting is the best. It's a rubber, canvas and rubber laminate. This will stop the rubber from spreading too much and splitting.

Thanks guys,

 

Any suggestions on where to get hold of a bit of conveyor belt then, if that's what I need?

 

Cheers

Dont know where you are located.

 

you could try these people and ask if they have any small pieces of scrap. They will only need to be 2" square.

Try any out of town shopping centre at 2 or 3 in the morning, I'm sure you'll find some there, just switch it off first....

I'm guessing you probably have this sorted by now, but I've been going through the same process and discovered these on Ebay. They were dirt cheap so decided to give them a go. Just fitted them tonight:-

They arrived in less than 5 days and are a nice hard rubber. The 19mm diameter hole in the rubber means its a nice tight fit on the on the 20mm chrome shaft Fitted a large washer with a 20mm hole diameter either side and it seems to be doing the job a treat at the moment. Time will tell of course once the cars on the road but it looks ok to me at the moment. Only downside is they only seem to do them in yellow (which works out nicely for me as my car is going to be black/yellow lol). To be fair though though they aren't all that noticable on the car and once on the road they will probably get filthyblack down there anyway.
