hope this helps

heres another closer up photo.

the bump stop at the top is the original one off the donor and the lower one is the demon tweeks one.

Fairly sure I don't have either fitted... got to be worthwhile, (although I hate compressing springs & hear these are a real pig!)

I can have my wheels re-balanced then without fear of the suspension stripping all the weights off again!!

[Dave R]

they aint that bad to fit, just as long as you are good at handling uxb's

(says the man who compressed his on a pillar drill and used loads of cable ties to hold them down

[Guest mark kingston]

cable ties:::::

your are either really brave or plain stupid i will let you decide which dave. (only kidding)

i used a set of ground down spring compressors but had to spread the spring coil with a screwdriver to get them on and off.

Good idea I recon! A lot easier than a Big screwdriver across the spring pushing it down

[Dave R]

little bit of both mark

after all i bought a hood!

[Bob Tucker]

Dan I have a modded set of spring compressors

which work with the slimy pillock springs.

 

Gimme a call if you need to borrow them.

Bob,

 

Will probably take you up on that at some stage...

 

Cheers,

Thanks to all who replied regarding my 2B front suspension problem with wheels hitting the bottom of suspension arms. I have decided to follow Dave Kingston's recommendation and fit an extra pair of Demon Tweekes bump stops. When I finally complete this rather unpleasant job I will report on the result (probably late Spring!)

[Guest salty_monk]

Can you post up the part numbers please. Anyone know the shaft diameter or are these things "one size fits all??"

[Guest mark kingston]

i am not sure which ones i fitted as i cant find my cataloge but the two part numbers are PFXBS001 and PFXBS005. they set me back £12.50 each set . ie £25 for all four bump stops.back in august 2000.

The shaft size should be 20mm from memory.
