I am wanting a bump stop that will stop my swing arms at 40mm from my reinforment point.

Thoughts?

Oh I am looking at the Minispares redesigned ones..

Don't want to be burning off the paint again.

You can always fit a spacer between the Bump Stop and it's Mounting Point.

 

Have you made a measurement of the total height for the Bump Stop you need?

I need to fill 40mm.

So yes spacers and a bump stop but must stop at 40mm or 45mm but that can be adjusted.

Sportspack cars have a chunky spacer under the front bump stop, a pair of those will fill the gap enough including some squashing I would think.
