205 Gti Stainless Steel Front Bumper Slider Mounts
Code: BW205-5
As these are no longer available from Peugeot we embarked on re-manufacturing them. We designed and manufactured a press tool to enable the finished item to closely resemble to the original part.
Due to the bumper sliders location on the car it exposed to the elements and any road salts. They are extremely prone to rusting as the original part is made from mild steel.
BakerBM’s Bumper sliders are manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel. An accurately laser cut profile is pre-bent 6 times then enters our press tool to form the correct shape. Rusting will now not be any issue.
Can be purchased individually or as pairs (two per car).
These uprated rubbers replace standard soft rubbers in the shock absorbers top mounts, located just under strut turrets.
The rubbers are constructed to a very high standard using a rubber compound (with an increased Shore Rating over original), which is considerably firmer than the standard rubbers, making them far stiffer. They give firmer ride and less front suspension flex.
Replaces standard rubber joints and mounts on all the mounting points of a rear beam.
Fitting this kit means the rear beam is rigidly attached to the chassis. Giving a more predictable rear end under heavy cornering and more control during lift off over steer.
Front flexible joints are replaced by acetal bushes (4 in the kit) while rear rubber “sandwich” mounts are replaced with “aircraft spec” quality aluminium blocks with offset studs (2 in the kit). This kit is an evolution and improved fit version of our original BBM-SA-R kit. Unlike standard items, our uprated items will not wear out!
This modification is a real benefit to a track orientated 205/309. It will also benefit a road car with respect to handling characteristics but at an expense of a slight increase in road noise experienced in the cabin.
The original linkage setup consists of two plastic bushes and a spring washer, even when new this setup had a lot of unwanted play in it. The linkage will now more than likely be considerably worn, causing the linkage system to feel “sloppy”. There are other kits available which replace the plastic bushes with bronze equivalents but the spring washer design is still utilized, along with the original large shanked bolt.
Only by changing the design of the pivot system (by using this kit) can the sloop be reduced entirely.
