Sierra rear bumpstops

Anyone know where I can find some rear bumpstops in the Newie area for a 95 sierra (Maruti ute), or where I can order them online.

Tried Tony's auto's at Sandgate, and Berro wreckers.
Both with no luck.

Ordered genuine ones off Klosters but the ones they supplied bolt to the diff, where as my chassis has mount plates for them, so I assume they're the incorrect part.

Hoping to find a set this week.

Every Zook I've seen has the rear bumpstop rubbers held in by the U-bolts on the diff.

I've seen them that way myself, but these are not the style of the ones my local supplier has supplied.

Pic's to follow when I get a chance.
Are there 2 variations?

From what i can see one type is for leaf sprung an the other for coil...

So if the bumpstops are retained by the diff U-Bolts, how are people mounting bumpstops in SPOA applications? Or do they simply leave them out.

you have to make up some custom stops. set i had in my old car were from a hilux with some stuffing around to make them sit on the u bolt plate

Custom stops. If your rear axle is in the standard position you can mount bump stops to the pad on the chassis. Check out lengths of other cars that mount them to the chassis.

Found some generic ones at the 4b spares place at Kotara today. $30 for the pair.
Mounted them to the diff using the existing Ubolts. The hole spacings were spot on, just needed opening up slightly to suit the 12mm Ubolts.
Whacked 'em on. Engineer is happy, rta is happy, I'm happy :armsup:
