I just tapped the hole in the old bumpstop mount and bolted the puck in. You could do the same thing but substitute a round metal plate if you want. Just need something to cover the top of the coil insert so you're not digging into it with the old mount.

I think want to go the route of making a steel top plate. If anyone has done this I would like to see some pics

I used threaded pipe 1.5" diameter, welded to a washer or steel disk 2.75" diameter.
On coil bucket, a small stack of 1.5" washers holds prothane in place. If needed a rubber insert will act as a final stop.
Picture is a prototype, I have been experimenting with the prothanes.

Ok.... The seller told me that that their was a mistake in inventory and all they had is red in stock. I need them so I told him to ship them asap. My question now is are they paintable. I was thinking something like krylon plastic fusion paint. If anyone has experience with this please let me know.
