You can adapt the standard rear bump stops or the Special Tuning progressive Hydrolastic rear bump stops for a dry suspension Mini with a bit of work.

 

C-AJJ3313 PROGRESIVE REAR BUMP STOPS

"This kit is intended for all hydrolastic minis, although it has been fitted on to dry suspension cars to give improved handling characteristics during motor sport events. Check all clearances of brake pipes and hoses and relocate if necessary. On dry suspension radius arms there is no hole for the bump stop bracket. A 5/16” UNC hole will be required, (depending on radius arm used) you will need to chisel off the brake pipe anchor brackets and if necessary finish grind flat.) Make sure the brake pipes are firmly fixed under the radius arm and clamp them into position(using a suitable jubilee clip) to stop any fouling during use. Remove the existing standard bump stop rubbers from the arms (if Hydrolastic), clamp the new brackets into a vice and fit the larger bump stop rubbers on using the SMALLER HOLE END. The use of soft soap will ease this operation. Bolt the bracket down with the bump stop mounting boss on the hub side of the mounting point. When fitted ,ensure there is sufficient clearance between the bump rubber and side body flange. If necessary, dress back this flange. On full stop, the rubber must strike a flat surface."
