I am due to put it up on the rack to check the situation. Thanks for the alternative theory.

$25 up front and an annual $15 renewal. Look at what parts cost! And they don't come with any intelligence or comraderie.

Bob,
Thanks for the lead. I've sent them an email and we will see what develops.
Ken

There is a "donate" link at the top of every forum. I gladly give every so often to this most worthy cause. I make my annual Christmas tithe, but i think the occasion deserves serious moolah to Brian and a real incentive for his successor/admin helper. This site isn't suitable for a paywall based o...

I returned from my winter in Florida and among the first to-do's is to check on the Garage Queen. Underneath the car in the drip pan was a nice puddle of red ATF. So sometime in the next few days, I will put it up on the ramps and crawl under. If I need to have it redone are there any reputable shop...

Oh WOW. Brian, Thanks for your dedication and service to us all. Is there any way we can repay you for all the time you've spend helping keep our 6'ers on the road? If a successor is named, let's have a big fund raiser to be sure that the site would have all the resources need to continue in a first...

Welcome!
Were still on Corona-time here in the states with lots of screen time and parts planning for the next work season. Please offer the group the parts that you don't want as you'll find ready buyers amongst us.
Regards,
Ken

Weak / Bad bendix spring on the starter nose?

Roger, Yes, we're still in Boynton and luckily no symptoms so no tests. We may head back at the end of May but time will tell. You were smart to get back home as Palm Beach County has 2088 cases as of today. While hospitals have capacity, treatment is "wait and pray" with supplemental O2. I hope you...

Song,
There,are a few long posts on redying the seats with an airbrush. Some recommend using Leatherique BEFORE the spray on dye. I am using Leatherique on two BMWs as a maintenance item, but have no personal experience with the redye process.

HI Roger,
Are you buying or selling the seats, etc?

Song,
Is it possible to overhaul the p/s pump without removing the pump body from the car?

If the gaskets have become adhered to the lens or housing, will decal remover help?

I received an email from the owner of Harbor Freight where he is donating all their stock of 5 and 7 mil. nitrile gloves to local hospitals.

I have been debating adding this reply. But we have to look at the opportunity to be home with our loved ones and to work on our 6'ers. I think the parts houses are working as is FedEx and Amazon Prime. Also, spring is coming although most of the botanical gardens are closed. Washington DC has a "Bl...

On Jan 26th, my wife and I went to a Fuel Fed Coffee event on SW 7th St, in Ft. Lauderdale. There was a white 635CSI. I wanted to chat with the owner, but I couldn't find the chap (or lass). I've got my own 633 (which is safely stored in NY for the winter) so I'm not looking to buy. Just pleasant hi...

I'm reminded of the Patek Phillippe advert: we only hold it in trust for the next generation. So while I admire the science project aspect of this, as a re-do of a piece of rolling art (engine included), this would not be my first choice.

Mine is 6997510, Bronzit Beige with the pearl beige interior.
Welcome to the fun!

Awesome progress in 9 months' time!

Don't forget the silver heat conductive paste to bed the transistor for better heat dispersal.

I haven't needed it yet, but previous posters mentioned Drive Shaft Specialist in San Antonio TX (www.driveshaftspecialist.com) and Beyer Drivelines in Chandler AZ ([email protected])
This IS NOT a recommendation as I haven't used either but perhaps some other Coupers can chime in.

What if you mount the winch to the back side of the lift with a snatch block mounted to the wall to line up with the centerline of the car (or the tow loop on the passenger side)? Then you have 2x the mechanical advantage and therefore you can use a really small winch.

Zinnocoupe: It's not a seal but a "seal carrier" that is shaped like a plug. Jay said it's not necessary, but what the hell, I was preparing for the worst. Cheaping out on brakes and brake parts is foolish. It goes in the servo unit. See realoem !https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=5284-US...

Song, Definitely let Jay Stratton rebuild your booster with new seals. Also suggest you contact Bill Fox (Max Lumens) [email protected].com for the machined aluminum seal carrier to replace the plastic one and then send it with your booster to Jay. One assembly tip: fit the hydraulic lines to the M/C...
