Front bump stop brackets

Post by DevonNotch » 3rd July 2021 - 1:20pm

Anyone cut off their front beam bumps stops to take the car lower but kept the bump stop brackets metalwork??? I'm looking for a set to try to fabricate as both front beams we have as reference have both had their bump stop brackets removed :-(

The answer to the first part is no. But I may have a knackered old beam with stop mounts on. I will look in the week and let you know. Close up photos here

I've got a 2nd hand beam with the bump stops intact so will able to get a set fabricated if needed - thanks for the above link though - very helpful!
