Rear bump stops
If I or the club were to get some new bump stops made up, what sort of money would people pay? I’m trying to work out whether it’s viable or not, as I wouldn’t want to spend out the money for them to sit on the shelf and not sell.
Obviously as cheap as possible, but any indications would be appreciated.

Re: Rear bump stops
Well originals are near impossible to find. I have only ever come across a couple of NOS ones. On a practical level Morris Minor ones will fit onto the axle but the rubber has to be cut down and those are £8 per side. If I could get a proper Marina one I'd be willing to pay a bit more- £15 or so? The question is whether you would get early ones or later ones made. Later ones had a flat top, early ones had a pointed top. Not sure when the changeover was.

Re: Rear bump stops
These would be the flat top version with the taper. I suspect they would work out a bit dearer than £15.00.

NOS Australian bump stop on ebay for AU$29.90 (if that's any help) https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Morris-Mari ... 1937853515
Are the flat top version the same length or did BL cut the tip off for more travel?
