Rubber bump stop

[geordy55]

Does anyone know where I can get one of these from, or if not possible what people have done to make their own?

It’s from a Caille Commercial.

All help appreciated.

What's the outside diam? I think 'rubber mushroom, plug/stop/bumper' are the keywords. Otherwise you might use some solid rubber cylinder for the body attached to a 'small round rubber appliance foot'.

Somewhat like the rubber mushrooms they used to mend punctures in tubeless tyres with until they changed the law regarding it and vulcanising.
I saw one once at Coventry where the vendor had used a couple of tap washers stuck together and then chamfered to shape. Also of course they have a hole in the centre to fit a stem.

Thanks for the suggestion. These are small as the bigger diameter is 22mm.

I’ve bought a couple of rubber bonnet stops for a Honda and I’m hoping they can be shaped as they fit the dimensions I need.

I have always cut an old flexible rubber to shape and it appears to do the job, however, if you have a 3D printer or know someone with one, flexible rubber filaments are obtainable (TPE filament) so any shape/size could be printed to suit the machine in question. Model makers often use these filaments for producing rubber tyres.

Managed to convert the Honda bonnet rubber to something that will do the job.
