You should try this guy, appears to have a wealth of parts

As Ken duly noted, there's not a lot of options that will look good, I for instance have protected my dash with a custom fit carpet cover, which is not elegant at all and comes out for shows and whatnot :-" And as you duly noted, there are plastic covers that can be bonded over your existing da...

Thanks gents :wink: This bench top was already existing, and it will likely get more abuse, no projects currently lined up but something will come up sooner than later :roll: The lighting I added was also LED, kitchen under cabinet type, in addition to the fluorescent one I installed years ago :-&qu...

Bert, presuming that your '81 has series 1 gauges, I have some input regarding this exchange 8) I installed a Euro 70 Liter fuel level gauge in mine and when full it doesn't go all the way to indicate full (70L) which I presume is due to the difference in the fuel tank capacity, which is larger in t...

Finished pix

Finally coming back to this project, as recently completed refinishing this workbench =D> I also took the opportunity to add a couple of features, including 2X AC power outlets, more lighting and an Akro-Bin rack complete with a dozen bins for handy access \:D/ After cleaning off the bench, removing...

So you're saying that it just requires more effort to turn the steering wheel than you are expecting, based on other models :-k Hard to say that there's anything actually "wrong" with your PS system, but you may want to service the hydraulics, here's a thread that shows what I did, and how...

Just for clarification, my '80 has an O2 sensor, first year as this was also the first year for the cat

Wish I had some input regarding your problem, but I'll keep thinking about what could cause this issue

I've never had to deal with this type of problem

For stock parts I like to use FCP Euro, and for aftermarket stuff, I usually go to ECS Tuning \:D/ Not sure about actual "dismantlers", but there are quite a few on Big Coupe that peddle parts on a regular basis :-" You could try Ralph in SoCal (his handle) or another guy in the Sandy...

How wide are the wheels

Typically, 235/45 x 17" would be about the right outside diameter as original, so 225/45's would be a bit short as far as the OD would be concerned

But you do need to match the tire width with the wheel width as well

Welcome to the madness \:D/ I see that you attended PSF this past weekend, while I was involved in much of the planning, alas I was not able to make the event this year :( Tough times right now with one of our dogs, we did a FaceTime during happy hour Friday and that just made me sadder :-? Good luc...

How about some pix of the connections

Obviously hard to diagnose, and you're looking at it, we aren't

I have an aftermarket keyless lock setup and the wiring under the dash is a nightmare

Good point Ken, better grounding was part of the many conversations, with both Klaus and Tommy :-k But the other issue that Klaus pointed out was that the LEDs should be colored to match, either amber or red in this case, and these are all white [-( I'm just gonna leave things as they are for now, w...

Update, this has basically been a total bust ](*,) Once installed (I did get the dash indicator to work with the rectifier/diode bridge, BTW :-" ) I was experiencing very odd behavior, what I would describe as "current bleed" to lights that shouldn't be receiving any power :-? For ins...

Got it and just replied

OK, let's review :wink: Ralph, if I read your response correctly, I can use these, and they will also lower my seat height, which is something that I wanted to do for quite a while :-" In fact, I was considering custom made flat rails, as I would also like to see if it's possible to make it so ...

With photo this time, and you can see that I do indeed have the raised floor, along with the E21 320 iS Recaro factory mounting brackets :-" If I didn't have so much going on right now, like PSF in a couple of weeks, I would pull the seat again (both probably :-? ) so that I can figure out why ...

Well, I have a series 1, MY80, so I don't think it's like E28 :-k I used the mounting brackets that came with the seats and just had to slot the mounting holes 1/4" for everything to line up :wink: The mounting brackets have sort of a "U" shaped cross section, if that helps :-" I...

Ralph, would my E21 Recaros fit on these rails

My drivers side won't tilt forward, had the seat out once but wasn't able to figure out why

Dale, I wouldn't need both, but if I can't figure mine out, I may be in touch

Interesting that it has "55" at 90 KPH

Surely DOT had something to do with that

GLWS, interesting price as well

Depends

Euro models work with the driver's door open without the key in the ignition, but I'm not sure about UK versions

So just open your driver's door and give it a whirl

Moved to the "Brake" forum

I like that "while I'm in there" approach Ross, good job

Some call it feature creep, I like to call it saving on labor time, and my back, or rather, working on my back

Hmm, I used the 3M 90 high strength stuff, but that doesn't sound very optimistic

Well, we'll see
