Front Beam, Bump stop tubes

Afternoon All
I have removed the front beam, to repair and clean up to find the tubes that the bumpstops fix to and its a little rusty , i look though a few threads and some of you have removed them due to lowering, i wasnt thinking of lowering betty........
The question is are they needed ? if so can they be replaced with new or do they have to be repaired ? all help/ideas welcome ;D

they are part of the beam so cant be replaced
if they are bad then remove them, probably not worth welding unless you can get all round the repair
all they do is limit the suspension travel so you dont bottom out the suspension at the end of its travel

 

Thanks for that aussie bay, i will have a good look at them and decide !

 

I have the pair I cut off my beam if yours are really bad.

 

had a look last night and mine are beyond ! were have you cut yours Silver ? as they look like they are one peice through the hangers
