Bis 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?

[Amateb8]

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?

[Amateb8]

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".
