Fitted my Bump Stops today, beautifully made items. All went well and really easy to fit (all you need is a 13mm and two 19mm spanners) the only thing that I had to do was file about 3mm off the tip of the shock eye gusset on the drivers side of the car where the hand brake bracket is so that it would clear that and sit at the correct angle as per Rogers instructions. It is easier to fit the Stop on that side, if you temporarily undo that handbrake fitting too. Once fitted I backed off my AVI shockers to 2 clicks from softest (previously on 6) then took it for a drive on an a pretty rough sort of a road and then down a faster road with a few bumps in it. When we got home and there was a witness mark around 10mm round, on each side in the Denso Tape that my springs are bound with. I’m not sure if that means that I need to up the shockers a click or wind the bump stops up a bit. Any thoughts?
For your reference I set the bump stops at 33mm off the springs as recommended by Roger as a starting point, and I have new AVO shock absorbers all round, and fresh 4 seater, 4 leaf Springs.
Did not feel the Bump Stops hit the springs at all, absolutely delightful drive.
Brilliant bit of design and manufacture Roger, many thanks indeed.
