So the question is where could I get rear bump stops from for a bis?
I tried Axle Gerstl, but I couldn`t find them on they web site.
Thanks.
-
126fan got them listed, do a search for - stop of rear arm
I am not sure if they are for the bis model? is there a difference?
-
This is for aircooled

Bis has a smooth finish - can't find a pic :(
-
Yeah the bis ones are different from air cooled.

On the german board there are a couple of users that bought these: http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&clk_rvr_id=271963273867&item=260618109820#ht_1395wt_1165

they look like bis rear bump stops the shape is correct. lad have a look at how they connect to the bodywork as if you cannot find exact replacements you will be able to find an alternative just as long as the way it fixes to the bodywork is the same.
-
I was quoted £80 a pair for these, so i got my friend to make me some from silicone/resin. Does the job perfect and passed MOT fine.
-
Here are photos of the original rear bumper stops from my 126 Bis. I recently bought bumper stops for an aircooled from 125skfan. I have been told that it will fit the Bis.
-
I just bought a pair of these. Hopefully, they are the right ones. It looks slightly longer from the photos. I shall compare the new bumper stops with the original ones when they arrive from 126skfan.
-
I think these are for the air cooled.

Hopefully, it will suit the Bis as well. I'll let you guys know.
-
Here they are. They are different but I have been told that the old one should be of the same height as the aircooled version. My worry is the attachment end. The aircooled version is screwed in whilst the watercooled is not.
-
The aircooled bump stop is completely hollow plus there is a metal overhang at the base. I shall try to install the new bump stops. I may have to improvise.
-
your BIS ones are totally different to mine, I don't think yours are original, I shall post a pic tomorrow!
-
I did not realise I have been driving mine with one rear bump stop. The one remaining bump stop dropped to the floor after the mechanic cleaned and air hose dried the under chassis in preparation for an underseal. Yes, please sent a picture as I am curious.
Hang on a minute! I have a blue and a red Bis! I shall check their rear bump stops.
-
Here is my BIS bump stop and both BIS's I have owned they have been the same, they measure 8.5 cm long.

That is interesting. The pictures of the old ones from my Bis appear to be slotted into place and not screwed in. Does your rear bump stop screw into place like the aircooled version that I just bought?
-
Placed my Bis on a ramp today to checked out whether an aircooled screw type rear bump stop would fit. It does not! You are probably saying, I told you so, but I was hoping with some modification to the bump stop it would be possible to make it fit. It has to be a bump stop with a plastic nipple that fits into the chassis. I'll check out other rear bump stops from other make and models.
-
Franco from Ricambio can get the (correct?) rear bump stop for a 126 Bis for a whopping £25+VAT each. I wonder whether any one has used another rear bump stop from another make.
-
Good news. Just took a chance and popped into my local Fiat dealer, to find that they still stock the 126 Bis rear bump stops! Hooray!! A bit pricey at £54 for the pair. I just ordered a pair. Part no is F0007688142.
Ciaoflyer, looked at the bump stop picture magnified from the Fiat computer, yup, your bump stop is indeed original.
-
Can you bring those bump stops that you bought from 126skfan to the 8ball dinner, I may be able to use them.
-
Can't belive they still stock BIS parts! That's mad!
-
The chap behind the counter could not believe it himself but he was quite happy that they did. I also bought the original string that attaches to the parcel shelf and to the hatch, so that the parcel goes up when you lift the hatch. They could also still get the plastic bumpers as well.

GREAT! Similar price to ricambio though! Who are their suppliers?
-
Ricambio quoted £25 each plus VAT for a similar bump stop. Not sure if it is from Fiat. I suppose, bottomline, a rear bump stop from other makes is fine as long as it fits.
-
It is often recommended to check for parts at Fiat itself or local car parts dealers, they can be cheaper than online stores.
-
Here is one of two the bump stops a bought from my local Fiat dealer. The pictures I previously posted were the original ones. There are probably many variants of the rear bump stops depending on the supplier.
The label states, "Made in Italy" or in reality, perhaps it should say, "Made in Poland".
