Rear Bump Stops
Turbo Mini Forums

Does anyone have pictures of how they have fitted their rear bump stops, i have lowered my mini and it rubs under cornering and worse when loaded up, i know a few of you have mentioned using the hydrolastic bump stops but ive never see a pic of how they are fitted.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

i fitted the minispares rear bump stop kit - (basically the hydraulastic setup) to the mighty mini i spanner for... no pics but basically..
bit of a pain to do on the car but basically:
Disconnect the brake line on the radius arm and move underneath / out the way (tiewrap jubilee clip it back to the arm)
grind smooth the area where the metal bracket is where the brake line goes through (on the top of the radius arm)
drill and tap. (awkward when the radius arm is on the car)
fit bumpstop and its mount - awkward bit here is fitting the bumpstop to the metal mount!
trim top of bump stop if necessary - and make sure any body seams are out of the way...


hth,
Dave
