Photo 1 - oil temp sender, photo 2, oil pressure switch and gauge sender at back of head

(Can't figure out why they rotate when posted)

Hi Rangi

I did as Sharkfan suggested via a custom brass fitting to take the existing sender for the dash warning light and take the gauge sender and used the spare tapped port on the oil filter housing for oil temp gauge.

Although I have a post 84 chassis I have the early model OBC. Since i have a custom dash is only used for outside temp and clock and I do find the clock handy. Lately the far left digit has started blinking. Is the only fix to replace the input unit, or can this be pulled apart and somehow repaired?

+1 on the fritz system but note the rear box hangs down a bit like a ball bag. (I chopped mine down). I doubt would disappoint Prior to this I ran a home made system consisting of a couple short resonators running into a single 2 into 1 central edelbrock, back to 2 pipes all the way back. This sound...

Agree, well executed, but not my cup of tea either. If I were to do a cross bread would be with a LSV8.

These guys have done some impressive builds - see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ8RLM8eWRU

How harsh is it?

To OP, found this as well - may be of help: http://www.retrosport.es/BMW_Hartge_H6S ... _1979.html

I have the conti. Is light, shallow, simple to use and sound ok. I run through a nakamachi amp and polk speakers front and rear. Ran the remote mic up the a pillar and under the front headlining trim, installed in the pop out panel. Can answer the phone with the window down and Fritz exhaust.

Looks like your number plate has claimed a few road kills. If it's legal in Cal I would ditch it completely and replace with vinyl numbers on your new spoiler lip.

That's pretty cool

I replaced my heater core as a pre-emptive strike while the engine was out last year. It's not a job I would ever want to do again and took 3 weekends, but not overly difficult. I managed to do this only removing seats, centre console, glove box and lower dash panel, and the fan covers on engine sid...

If the bushes shown in the photo are E31 then I believe they do need to be turned down. I went through all this year replacing my poly bushes which had permanently deformed, in the end installed: Lower Control Arms: (pair) Lemforder Aluminium - 31-12-1-139-987-M69 and 31-12-1-139-988-M69 Upper Contr...

I bought my head bolts a few years back, even though I only rebuilt my engine last year. When it came time I investigated ARP studs also, but stayed with the bolts due to coming across the same issue. It's an issue (or non issue) that seems to generate a lot of debate. Here's more http://www.mye28.c...

Good skills, that really is some achievement - you obviously know what you're doing.
Curious though why you put the 5 series engine back in the 6, given is write-off .

Not a good idea introducing a potential ignition source to where fuel vapours are likely to be present. I would think of another method. If you're concerned you might forget to disconnect a cables coming out the boot, park a yellow sponge or similar on your drivers side windscreen wiper every time y...

I’m no expert on this but learn’t a lot from my own rebuild. The attached pdf will help answer your questions about what you can expect from various levels of investment - a collection of info I come across while researching all this. Keeping the valve size standard with the M30B34 manifold will yie...

Now you now what we're up against down the bottom of the world.

Add shipping, customs charges plus boarder tax and all BMW parts are still way cheaper ex US or Germany than we can buy locally

You guys are so spoiled with choice and free ground shipping

I've got 3M film on all 4 lights and fogs, applied by mobile Tech - I had all the lights out at the time. Chrome rings removed and when installed help retain the edges.

Researching replacement half shafts. For some perspective BMW original parts: - WN are running a special at the moment at 249 euro plus 100 euro for core replacement - PP are at USD418 + $50 core charge and only showing one in the world Living in this part of the world any option that requires a cor...
