    Here's a couple of pics of bump stops. The first is my chopped down version which I cut when I had lowered spring plates. The second is a new full sized bump stop ready to fit, IMG_1456 (600x800).jpg but I can't see how it attaches. I'm reluctant to chop the old one off until I know. Anybody?
     
  2. They just pull off and push on

  3. ^this. They’re just held on by a metal “bobble”. Just lever the old one off.

  5. Many thanks. I'll give it a go tomorrow.
     
  6. For the record it was pretty tough getting the old ones off as the rubber had hardened up. Ultimately twisting with a tyre lever and mole grips got them.

    It was initially even harder putting the new ones on, but a long soak in hot water softened them off OK.

  7. Silicon rubber spray. It’s the only way to get the comp stops on my mini. Fit a 10p through a 5p hole. It’s magic.
