Fitted a pair of Roger's Bump Stops today.
Although yet to road test, I have to say I am delighted with the quality of engineering that has been applied in the construction of these items.
Instead of a cheap and cheerful fillet weld, the stiffener plates transmit the vertical and lateral shear loads through a mortice and tenon type joint between the anchor plate and the bump stop mounting plate. This is then fixed with light weld on both sides for security. Altogether well thought through, with ample slots for alignment of both the bracket itself and the bump rubber.
I assembled layers of timber to a thickness of 32mm and placed this on the leaf springs for initial height setting of the bump rubber.
It was necessary to unbolt the handbrake cable fixing block to gain access. Fitted Nyloc M8 nuts to the U-bolts and Nyloc M12 nuts at the top of the bump stop hangers.
Thanks Roger - an absolutely marvellous device!
