Where can I get one of these?..........
Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of rebuilding the front suspension on my '73, and found that one of my "bump-stops"(?) is shot. I tried Pelican, but they said that they'd have to order it directly from Porsche (SHIVER!). Just in case the pic sucks, the piece I'm refering to is the big rubber dude that slides over the strut shaft inside the protective cover. I've been to several sites, but no luck with locating this one. Heck, it doesn't have to be new so if anyone has one that isn't shredded, and would like to part with it e-mail me at: kev914@earthlink.net and we can work out the details! Thanks!!

Notice the can of POR-15 in the background, man I love that stuff!! The entire front suspension will (eventually) be stripped and coated with it.

Send me you address to Kerrys914@attbi.com. If you want to pay for shipping you can have one on the extras I have.
 Cheers Kerry

I'd also be interested in a source for these "bump stops"; for the rear as well. I had started looking but nothing was jumping out at me so I decided to wait until my project was further along.
Please post if you find a source. Thanks Ed

Perf. Products calls these "snubbers"...they want $49 ea. for front and $38 ea. for rear. SmartRacing says they can get them for $9.00 ea. GPR wants $35 ea. Hmmmm. Where's the rocket science?

Sorry; I re-read and thought I might have sounded like a *****. What I meant was, what's the rocket science in snubbers for some to be so expensive?

Notice the snubbers from Performance Parts are Koni brand "RACE" snubbers.
I guess they wont work on my street car. LOL.
