Re: [T3] those rubber bump stoppers

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

The rear bump stops ('IRS') are also fitted to double-joint Beetles such as
1302S and 1303S (Super-Beetles in USA ?).  They are readily available in the
UK - are you sure they can't be got in the USA, Keith?  131 501 191 is the
number, which is a super Beetle number.

I made up a replacement 'mushroom' with an M12 bolt, a couple of nuts and some
washers, all molded together with bondo to make the equivalent shape.  I
through-bolted it to the support. Others have bought a universal bump-stop from
their FLAPS I believe.

I think the 3 screw holes are more likely drain holes.
