Hi Gary, Thanks for the response. I am aware I'm supposed to have a bump stop fitted but have heavily modified the underside of the car during rebuild so there is nowhere for them to go. Also, it never had them fitted before and didn't have the problem. having said that, I think I will try it, I'll strap a couple to the spring and see what happens, if it works I'll make a permanent solution, and of course keep you all informed.

Hi All, You may be aware of an option to convert the original shock mounts on a Rotoflex GT6 to attach to the Chassis instead of the wheel arch. The club shop sells a conversion kit consisting of two GAZ shock absorbers and two extension brackets for the chassis to reach out so the shock absorber doesn't interfere with the Rotoflex unit. I have fitted this kit on my GT6 and am having trouble with it. Every now and then the shock absorbers bottom out on their internal stops. I spoke to Garth from the shop a while ago about the situation and he confirmed that the shock absorbers were the correct spec for the car. I then went to Owens Springs and had a brand new rear spring made for the car, this has dramatically improved the problem but it hasn't gone completely. The only thing I don't have on my car are rubber bump stops on the back, could this be the problem? There just doesn't seem to be much travel on the suspension... What I want to know is does anyone else have any experience of this problem at all? Or any advice? Thanks in advance. Henry

Ooh, didn't realize we had a forum again until just now, great news! I'm looking at replacing all the carpets in my GT6 but given that there are so many options I'd like to know what's good and where from... Black is my colour too! Any help greatly appreciated! Henry
