those bumpers i have always bought them from westcoast metric. i have never bought them from wolfsburgwest(who i prefer for rubber products) before as it was never clear through their catalog that they have the correct size. but the WCM ones are always hanging on store walls and obviously correct.
im pretty sure david makes the right ones as well although they are not pictured in money mikes posted photo. but im not 100% on that.

im not at my shop just yet. if needed i will try to get measurements of both my originals and the WCM ones if they are really different. the ones that were on all of my buses are the same size if i remember correctly . im just guessing they would be the same through all BDs. unless they were different for early 53 and down.
ill get back on this later in the day.

These are the stoppers on my bus:

The measurements come out very very similar to Tonny's. I guess mine have shrunk a little over the years

just checked the original ones on my 54(18mm base/16mm tall/14mm top) and the WCM ones on my 53(18mm base/18mm tall/13mm top).
close,but not like what you have on your bus.

This NOS one is the type used from 1955, as I know.
the nut for it is a 5mm, on the barndoor type it is a 4mm
