This is a stretch, but better than doing nothing. After too many years, I've finally sent two WP shocks to Racetek for repair. One is missing a rubber bumper that they don't think they can replace. Any ideas where to locate a replacement. Does anyone have a donor shock they know can't be repaired but just couldn't bring themselves to throw away?
As a sidenote, they noted that the two are slightly different. I didn't realize there were differences. Any input why 1 might be better/nicer than the other? I suspect I'll be combining two shocks to get 1.

Shock 1


Shock 2

Have a look at some car suspension bump stops like this,

And cut it at the correct length.

Possibly some quality time at a lathe with a block of rubber used for exhaust system isolators/hangers. I found something I could use in a bin of car exhaust parts - standard bends, lengths of tubing, that sort of thing.

Hope this helps, Dave
