Bis rear bump stops.
« on: October 07, 2011, 09:54:12 AM »
 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.

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.

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.
