Bump stop mount innards?

[adriantr4]

With a huge amounts of heat, and luck, I have removed the bump stop mount. It is held onto the chassis by two long bolts. The top came out ok but the lower has the remains the chassis attached.

However now out. The pictures show the before and after. The chassis area seems ok, apart from the missing mount, and  the bracket itself is solid.

I'm a bit surprised the lower mount has totally dissolved as the rest of the car is fine - what are my options?

Those bolts are always a pain to get out even on relatively un-corroded chassis, Cut that bolt out of the bracket and then use the bracket to replicate the positioning of the lower tube and replate the area with 2mm steel, you`ll need to find some steel tube of the right wall thickness too. replace the bolts and fit a new bump rubber.

Thanks Stuart, will do.

I've had the other side apart and although very grungy, it's fine. A bonus which I didn't expect.

Hello

I have been looking around to see if I can lay my hands on a piece of steel tube 3" long by 5/16" internal diameter (the critical-ish dimension), so an outside diameter of about 1/2". My friend with a lathe doesn't have anything suitable and doesn't fancy making it from first principles from a bit of bar. But he did suggest if I could find something similar he could drill it out, or adapt it.

So, has anyone got a piece of tube of those dimensions I could have? Happy to pay.

Thanks Adrian
