Doing this job today and bolts came off no problems so I thought this will be easy but when I pulled the shroud out with helper spring/buffer I found it was broken.

it looks like these are 251411123B -NLA so what do others do?

tube of silicone?

Just the bumpstop, put it back on it can't go anywhere.

if it drops down though won't dirt and water will get onto the piston and corrode it?

Just found some black PU adhesive think that's better than silicone?

Sikaflex ........... it bonds and sets like rubber,very useful for reinforcing engine mounts, repairing a shroud will be well within its capabilities.

Other brands are available

Thanks I think that is PU adhesive.

Super Glue works very well with rubber

not enough rubber left for superglue, needs something bulky to stick ribs together.

new spacers arrived today used the old shocks to clamp them in place while the PU adhesive sets

gave the springs a spray with a few cans of poundland paint

pics still not working then?

I did a posting with how I see things (or don't) earlier today http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=163702

The Sikaflex I use is a PU adhesive as you suspected - I had never read the label closely. It's good stuff with many uses

I know I researched it, I was just breaking it to you gently

Bump stops / shrouds ready to go back

there is clearly a large piece of steel in them so even if they perish they will not push through the turret
