Can you fit competition rear bumps stops for a hydro car to the rear of a dry mini?

If i can, i'm planning to use them to minimise the weight transfer to the rear of the car, hopefully these will stop the rear squatting under acceleration.

Yes you can, there are instructions in the packet how to fit on a dry car. :wink:
You have to drill & taps some holes to mount them, also move the brake pipes away from the top and secure them with some hoseclamps.

Can you get in there with everything still together or do you have to remove the trailing arm?

Does the car sit on them permanently?

You can do it in situ, on the car.
How high it sits depends on your rear suspension's height setting.
If low, yes it will sit on them but they are an aeon rubber spring, they can handle a bit of load.
