Bop-Bop-Bop...

Whilst I'm on with BOP, I need to replace the n/s bump stop which has escaped:

It should be like the o/s:

I've started by making a plate to replace the remains of the old one. This is made from 'thick' steel (part of a pattern floorplan I retained from the Alfa). I will weld a nut on & drill holes round the perimeter for plug-welding it to the mount:

Fortunately, the mount is still solid.

We'll see how it goes :)
 
Had same on mine a few years back thibk it’s pretty common. I think new bump stops are sold via couple Rover Parts outlets. Did similar repair and gave area a complete clean up and rust protection at same time. Always something!

I've welded a nut to the plate that a bump stop will screw into & have drilled holes around the edge to plug weld to the mounting:

The outside face of the mounting isn't quite as good as I thought, so I've welded the plate on & will do the side next. The rust is due to taking the car out in the wet straight after doing the work :rolleyes:

Thanks!

This was the side part before replacement:

...& after replacement (perhaps not quite master craftsman standard :( - "must try harder")
