Bump stop / Aeon recommendations?

Following on from the thread I started about a rear roll (sway) bar for a Plus 2 (bad idea as it turned out), we ended up talking about Aeon rubber bump stops. I decided to start a new thread to talk about them. So, RichardHawkins said:

…and this makes me concerned that I will not be able to get appropriate replacements for mine, which I am guessing are dead after 47 years and 100,000 miles. Might also explain the excessive roll I am experiencing. I took a look at the parts diagram and I see a similar arrangement on the front suspension as well; in both cases the parts are labelled “bump stop”, which seems to downplay their importance a bit.

So, my questions are:

  • Where can I get a suitable replacement for the rear Aeons? Something proven to be as close to original as possible?
  • My front suspension is toast according to Andy@Spydercars, though when I do a roadside test (push down on the wings, see the damping action) it seems OK. Can I get suitable bump stops for the front, if so, where from?
  • Do I need front bump stops if replacing the shock absorbers? I am thinking about the TT fast road units.

Jon,
On the rear, are you using the alloy “bump limiting spacers” ? Your chassis number is before the number quoted in the manual.

Unknown - I’ve not yet pulled the shock absorbers out - car is still on the road.

These are to bring the Aeons into play sooner, right?

Yes.
