Front Bump Stop - Relocation?
Well, today this rookie broke off a front bump stop bolt. The break occurred just inside the bolt well, without a sharp bolt edge sticking out. In other words, the old mounting plate is flush.
So my question is this:
Can the new bump stop be relocated to the original bump stop plate on the LCA, by drilling a new hole, threading it, and Loctiting it, so that the bump stop is aligned to hit against its prior bracket location? (I've mocked up the proposed new mounting point in the image below.)
If so, this would allow easier access to the front bump stops if changing them out later, as well as saving time trying to get the old bolt out.
What are your thoughts and concerns here?
Much obliged for your input!
