Conquest Engine Damper Buffers

Post by Pendle »

I am looking for a pair of Conquest Engine Damper Buffers. Does anyone know where these might be available?

Thank you

Take you are needing what we call engine mounts https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... s&_sacat=0

Stablizer buffers are fitted at the gearbox mounting plate but not sure about conquest but none shown.

It is actually the buffers that I am looking for. There aren't any listed on eBay at the moment.

I used TR6 trailing arm bump stops. The rubber is too long but I cut the ends off to length and glued it to the old plates. The gear box buffer is the same as the engine stabilizers.

A Google search revealed the company below.

If you are happy to fit a modern day equivalent I think the 30 x 36 mm would do the job.

Like 'migray' I found some stops at a swap meet from some other unknown car that were the correct diameter and height - theres lots of options if you keep searching.

Good luck,
Michael
