Well, I'll be damned :oops: Now that's a very early 5er :shock: I'm no expert, but I don't see how you can go from drums to disks without the proper subframe to mount everything to, etc. :-k Sorry, but I cannot offer any assistance regarding using Mini parts, or any other substitutes, for that matte...

Fernando, don't have too much in the way of suggestions, but I do have a question for you :-k You stated that your E12 (presumed to be a first gen 5er...) has drum rear brakes :-? Not doubting you, but that's "almost" hard to believe [-( Here in the states, E12 5ers did not have the vented rotors ou...

Good bet it's Jay, he does all sorts of rebuilds, A/C compressors and whatnot

Gonna move your post to the correct forum

Any chance they published this on line as well

Sounds like worthy reading, regardless of the content and detail

Thanks Ken

Brent, don't need any parts as I have a series I 6er, but am curious how such damage was incurred, at a weird angle

Very sorry to see, especially another fine looking Euro example

Well, maybe it is 6er or car related, since I don't know what it is :-? Found this will cleaning out and packing, yes, STILL in the process of moving #-o It may be some of torch (flashlight, for you Yanks :roll: ) as it appears to have a bulb of sorts in the end :-k Maybe it's an insert to a key fob...

Only a few pix still coming up

Why not just load them directly instead of using a photo hosting site

Definitely interested in this as well

chicane, moved your post to the Exterior forum, but clipper is right, look under the spare tire well

Craig, super glad you guys made it and enjoyed yourselves :lol: Really, how could you not :roll: I've got plenty of pix and hoping load 'em up, soon as I get some free time, as soon as possible :-k Also planning on writing an article for the Roundel, surly that's gonna be a while, since we are STILL...

Fabricate it myself :-k I wish I had that capability :-? Trying to recall the name of the fella that was making these, think it was Brent Kemi, might try and do a search on the board [-o< BTW, shortly after doing this, the Interstate did crap out, so I went with an Optima red top =D> Which, of cours...

And, the most important question, how many of those $ did you have to part with, if you don't mind divulging

Agree with Ken however, outstanding results

Looks like they had snow at the higher elevations, any recent updates on the forecast

Surely gonna be fun on summer tires

ACHIEVED!!!

Congrats Brucey, and welcome back

Well, now isn't this getting interesting =D> So, maybe E3 it is :-k Curious what that additional "3" is stamped on yours :-? Shit, think I'd drive all the way to BC to get my grubby fingers on that one :-" Frankly, while a call to Metric Mechanic might solve this puzzle, I've tried calling them befo...

Steve, thanks for posting this, ya think I would know by now that I have to sign up and prepay

I recall many having to pay on the spot last year for meals, which of course is a PITA for you

Thanks again, see ya next week

Uh, plus nothin' Bert :-({|= So, attached photo shows both the all important "S" and "40" stamped next to it =D> The seller swore that it was a 3.64, 40:11 as Dave duly noted :-" What I don't have is a photo of the 38:11, which I guess is stamped on the casing somewhere :-k The seller also told me t...

Dave, my '80 came stock with a 3.45 ratio and 4 speed, which has long since been upgraded to a 5 speed OD gearbox. I have also upgraded to an LSD, it was "supposed" to be a 3.64, which I really wanted, but the "40" stamped in the case was not for the ratio, it's for the % of lockup, 40%. So yeah, wh...

Rainer, gonna move this thread over to the electrical forum

Kurtamine, sent you a PM as a board moderator, but please get back on line when you get a chance

I know the feeling, trying to move to and and it's been hell

Ken and others, please hang tight

That's real nice Ken

Seriously great writeup thanks for posting

Now if I ever get an E28 based 6er

Song, thank you very much

Heading to Gilroy, so not "too" far

Nice to see you back on line but also glad to see that you haven't been on line because your 6er is behaving

Still in Sunnyvale, busy uncovering 2.5 decades worth of, well, you know

Keep in touch

Behave?!? Now what fun is that :-? Still haven't tried it yet, but will probably give it a whirl heading down to Legends this coming Friday :-k What I can do is compare with Pat (ONEBADM) who has a much later model Valentine unit, and see if we detect the same signals, if any :-" Bert, think I'll pa...

Rondel Fan, you're gonna need to tell us what chassis you have

E12 or E28, huge difference

Moderator here, not sure about your issue, but I'm gonna move your thread to the exterior forum

Nice is right

Curious about that rotisserie type of rig you've got there

Also interested in those rear skirts, not that I need them, but others might be

Nice fab work, wish I had the means
