Re: FREE M10 copper lock nuts for exhaust manifolds

Bobbo, I'll take you up on your offer. I see they appear to be for the downpipes as Bert mentions. I will eventually be there... I just fit up the manifolds with the copper M8's hand tight and trying to decide if I will install the six single manifold gaskets or the one with the heat shield integrat...

Re: Interior truck sound absorber panel refurb

I haven't replaced either one in my E24s, but I used Dynamat in my E30s. Worked great. For some reason I don't think Dynamat is the correct application for this. This sits in the trunk below the rear parcel shelf. I believe it is tied into the vents to the rear of the of the back side windows and i...

Began to install the insulation and sound proofing on the floors. I compare it to putting a screem protector on your smartphone. You have to get the placement right because it is not coming off to adjust [-o<

Re: Dry ice blasting

Dry ice blasting seems to be the easiest most efficient way to clean the underside for sure. I had my car on blocks so not possible to bring it to a shop for that service. The mobile service was too expensive for what I needed. I even looked into a dry ice rental blasting unit but needed a high volu...

Re: Are these original wheels?

I have an unrestored set of RS007 wheels. I envision finding a set of barrels and lips to replace the 415 mm with a 16" fitment.
I think these wheels look the best.

Refurbished hand brake cable sheathing

Trying to finish some things under the car while it is mostly apart, I tackled the hand brake cables today. Originally I was going to leave them in place and use cable wrap (the stuff you'd organize electronic cables with) but ended up removing them from the car and using marine grade adhesive lined...

My (untested) solution is to use a machine screw that corresponds t...
