Front Bump stops

[406Special]

Regarding the rear bump stops or the front ones, once we have the
size and spec it would not be a major effort to obtain same/similar
from a good motor factors. Even if it meant using different size
bolt holes, these could be drilled as required. Kevin has a photo to
be shared. Having removed the rear ones a few times working on the
torsion bars, I can report that they look like a common bog standard
part, not something unique to Bristol, although it might be. One
thing that may well be unique and which is worth getting, as they may
break or rust, are the axle retaining straps that stop the axle
dropping too far, as opposed to bump stops preventing the axle
compressing too far (one would hope the shocks do that anyway!). Has
anyone obtained these new from BCL? I couldn't imagine any change in
these bits (the axle retaining straps) from 406 through to Blenheim,
given the same axle housing and chassis.
