Sources of bumpstop and dust boot
Hey guys,
I'd like to find some new bumpstops and dust boots for a new set of shocks I've got (I'd like to be able to build the whole thing with new parts (strut, spring seats, rubber, spring etc) so I can simply swap the whole unit without dismantling the old one).
Anyone know a decent source for these parts? My local dealer wanted ~£12 for each front dust boot, ~£20 for each front bumpstop, ~£30 for each rear bumpstop and ~£17 for each rear dust boot. Bit steep in my opinion!
In case its important, my new shocks have 22mm shafts.

Eh? Thats insane! Did they give any decent reason?
I still havent managed to source them, so I can't help there. My whole suspension refresh has been put on hold anyway - just bought a Turbo2000 (had a Sport Special before).
I'd still like to find some cheaper bumpstops and boots though, as I'd like to build up an entire set of struts with all brand new parts.
Let me know how your search goes!
