Carl, I've got a pair, but . . .

Oh snap, duh....

OK, so yeah, I can contact Eric and find out anything we want about his 6er :wink:

But that does verify the fact that he is running an RD front air dam :-k

There's a switch . . .

...under the dash, up by the brake pedal itself :-k When you apply the brakes, this switch activates, closing the circuit (I think), thus completing the circuit to the brake lights, hopefully [-o< I would be checking the function of this switch first, since all else appears to be in working order 8)...

You would not have been able to oder an '84 E24 with that spoiler, but you can certainly add your own now :shock:

Possible diff sources

As far as looking at other models for possible replacement units, you could also find sideloader diffs in E3's, E9's and E12's, the older full size sedans, CS coupes and first fives :-k And I have to agree on the gearing choice as well, with our other board members.
