Valve cover cap nuts

[Stevehose]

If you are looking to replace your janky cap nuts with the old style, Bel-Metric (I love that place) has nice ones which I installed tonight.

Thank you!

Looks very sharp and great tip thanks! Did you get all your nice new fasteners there or BMW Genuine?

I get the yellow zinc intake and carburetor trumpet nuts & bolts, braided fuel and vacuum hose, and silcone rubber vac hose from Bel-Metric. They have lots of other good stuff and lightning fast shipping. The brass carburetor cheesehead screws are from another source.

I also got the M8 JIS nuts from them that you suggested for the intake. They had those in yellow zinc also. Much easier to install as now I can get a small socket on them which was blocked before. And they look better.

Thank you!
