Hi all, my front subframe previously had hydro suspension and was converted to rubber cones. There was no upper bump stop mounted as yet.
Since the holes on the upper arm are used for shock absorber mounting, I assume the frame tower is drilled to mount the upper bump stop?
Does this sound correct?
Bit of a bummer if it is because my frame is all nice and painted.

Mine was also converted by the previous owner and still has the hydro bump stops fitted. I believe the arms are the hydro type as well.

Ok Paul, cheers, so it looks like the shock mount will also mount the bump stop?

Yep, that is how it's mounted on mine.

I believe you’ll just need to drill the holes for the hydro bumpstop open a bit to match the shock mount

When using hydro arms with shocks I drill the bumpstop to 8mm then use an M8x100 socket head cap screw and 2 locknuts. I bush the shock lower to 8mm bore.
Saves drilling the arms out to 3/8, they are bloody hard.
