Bumpstops
Missing bumpstop, can't find one, then make one instead.
Look at the original mounting point, most likely the original plate is still there but the metallastic bond which holds the rubber to the metal has gone.
Remove the old plate, using this as a template, cut a new plate and drill it, look in scrapyards and find a pair of bumpstops on another vehicle which are of a similar size and shape. Cut the rubbers off the mounting plate with a sharp stanley knife, use a rubber based contact adhesive such as Evo Stick, and bond the rubbers to the plate, clamp firmly and place on a radiator overnight. Fit the next day, use new nuts and bolts and grease the threads well.
