What would we do without you posting these every week, Paul

Oh wait, being a CCA member, I get them every week as well

Thanks for continuing the saga for others to read

And I hope that all's well with you, hope you make it up to Legends this year

TomMan, board moderator here, gonna move you to the mechanical section :-k The workshop is really for setting up your workspace, picking out lifts and compressors, that sorta thing \:D/ BTW, I personally would not recommend removing either the rear muffler or center resonator, again speaking persona...

Sheesh, 46 AUD to ship to the states, yikes

Thanks JPS, think I'll keep looking, for that price

Thanks cream, interesting site

Lots of '02 stuff, and I mean lots

As you duly noted, they currently only make 7", not sure if I'm a fan of that "KW" embossed in the cover, however

Gents, just saw this in Craig's List, oh, not me, I'm not looking for anything #-o https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pts/d/bmw-e24-633csi-parts/6573281618.html Appears to be the "bastard" year, MY82, based on the engine shot showing Motronic, but early door cards, etc. :roll: No affiliation [-X

Shit, talk to Paul

Interesting, similar to one that's out here on the left hand coast :wink: This example was trimmed and the 3-groove portion reattached, different concept for sure :-k Wait, this car recently changed hands, sold on BaT, wonder if it's the same car :-? Hmm, think I know who might know where it wound u...

Looks like it DID just come out of the factory, or better

I wish Ron would stop posting pix like this, making the rest of us look bad

Can't believe you sold that example Ron

YAY

Well, that only took, a year

Thanks

The caliper paint has held up very well, can't say the same for the rotors, which of course have rusted where the pads do not contact them

Good luck with your project, please post pix when she's complete

Not sure if this will help, but you can see in this photo, the drier is held in place by a hoop type bracket, secured to the inner fender well, again this is vintage 1980 :-k Also, here's a link to realoem, might want to take a look there for the MY you are trying to figure out 8) http://www.realoem...

I think the E28 calipers (front and rear) are only single piston floating type :-? But looking at your rebuild photos of the rear, I can now see that those are indeed E12 calipers, which are actually 2 piston fixed type =D> Bottom line, the correct kit should have a total of 6 lines for the E12 chas...

MrCouch, what year 6er are you working on

Most likely makes a difference, my '80 does have a bracket that holds the drier in place

Scott, thanks for looking

I do want to address this sooner than later, but since I'm technically "off the road" right now, awaiting tags, I can hold off

I need a few other bits and pieces, maybe I'll just order a film kit from BavAuto as well

That doesn't sound right, fanatic

The E12 front brakes are 4 piston fixed calipers, but the E28 does not

Dang, thought you could see the 2X lines going to the caliper in this photo, but you can see the 2 rigid/fixed pipes

Think I would continue your search

Thanks all, pretty much agree going with FAE

Dug, not leaking, that I know of, just don't have any reverse lights and it's not likely that both bulbs took a header

Think I'll go safe and order new Ralph, again for $6 plus shipping, just not worth screwing with used

Gents, opinions please on the drastic difference in the price for a genuine BMW reverse light switch, versus FAE, whoever they are

Really, $6 or $33

In fact, maybe I should just check with Ralph in SoCal, he's probably got a bag of these

Wow, nice to see that this example has stayed in the fold

Really miss Dean, every time I see one of his posts, it makes me sad to think that he's not with us anymore

Please take care of her and keep us posted

Gents, good news, just heard from Ed today =D> So he's been going through some health issues, but is on the mend and all is OK [-o< He's going to be off line for a bit, but wants to work through Ron exclusively, when dealing with sales into Europe :wink: After having issues of non-payment and whatno...

Thanx jps635 (and Tommy ) but I do have a question regarding these film options

How well does the film adhere to a curved surface

Think that's most concerning issue to me

Thanks again

Hey Tommy, thought of that, but I really wonder how well those film type protectors work, if you actually take a direct hit with a rock :-k Do you have a particular brand or shop that you purchased them from :-? Worth a try, just called BavAuto to verify that they don't carry anymore, no gots :-({|=

Hey Ron, can you please let me know if you are successful in contacting Ed

I have both emailed and called him, with no reply

Guess I could always do a drive by, but it's not like him

Thanks

Gents, I've been using these funky headlight covers for years to protect my NLA Cibie Z-beams, and one gave up it's life for the cause :cry: I originally purchased them from BavAuto, alas they no longer carry them ](*,) A quick internet search didn't turn up much of anything other than film type pro...

Well, to be honest, thee ole green shark always passed the sniff test, it was the pesky visual that had all of these "test only" guys panties in a bunch :roll: Those who have been involved in this saga from the get go are aware that I was getting to the point that I was going to swap out those lovel...

Great title, like one of his other books, "It ran when parked" or something like that #-o Rob is a great read, can't say that I've gotten into his books yet, but always read his monthly article in the Roundel, and now also in the Hagerty rag, which by the way has been greatly updated to include a lo...
