As you are at that stage you may as well weld the brackets back. Monocoque Metalworks http://www.monocoque-metalworks.com/main/ can supply them and a lot less trouble that messing about with bumpers in the shocks.

Thank's Eric and David, unfortunately ( or fortunately ) i am not at that step of restoration......
That's why i worry about .... It seems that my car never had that bump stop fitted Or some previous owner has grinded the fixing bracket ?
does those bump stops where always fitted ?

Yves, most surely the previous owner has grinded these to fit wider tyres, fashion of some recent era.
I am not expert but from what I have seen when working on rear suspension, you should really not worry because it is likely that the shock absorbers would reach their limit, or the hub carrier will meet the chassis, before the tyre rubs the wing.
Others more expert would have different views.
