Title: Front End Bump Stops Post by: graham_fuller on March 15, 2009, 04:06:46 PM I have bought 2 new bump stops. I thought they would have thraeded holes in them, but the backs are blank. How are these fitted up?

Spray with WD40 on the end of the rubber and the pocket lip and push the rubber into the pocket. Sometimes they can be hard to push in but should be able to be knocked in or pressed in with a G clamp or some other improvisation. Some blokes say don't use WD 40 as it will damage the rubber but they are made to withstand grease and oil to some extent so a bit of WD 40 won't hurt in my eyes.This is how I've done mine and the rubbers never showed any deterioration as a result. Or you could buy some rubber grease ( or some other recommended rubber lubricant ) and give the end of the rubber and the pocket lip a slight smear to assist in the fitment.
