    WTB - trunk support pieces

    What about part #17, the "Guide", p/n 51245676219? That shows as "Ended". Anyone have a lead on a supplier who might be 3-D printing or otherwise reproducing these?

    Wanting to use LED lights in the taillights.

    Most likely an e-flasher will solve that issue. My coupe was doing that too and it cleared up when I installed an e-flasher. But there are LOTS of things that can mess up e9 turn signal operation, so I don't want to imply that I am 100% certain that an e-flasher will fix your issue. But, it's...

    Hood insulation

    OK, thank you. 1/4" it is!

    Hood insulation

    Don: Do you use the 1/4" or 1/2" thick version? What would necessitate the thicker pad? A "hot" cam perhaps? ;)

    Hood insulation

    The adapters made by JAM will position the air cleaner too far backward. But other adapters, such as Redline's, keep it in the original fore-aft position. See threads at: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/restored-cs-air-cleaner-and-weber-adapters.44913/#post-395678 and...

    Questions about chrome trim at top of door

    Yes! That is part 51211803685. For the life of me, I couldn't grab a picture of it. So my questions becomes: "Is that one of the five clips that goes into the slot where my pencil is pointing in the above photo and secures each outer door trim?" I hope so, because part 51211803685 is still...

    Questions about chrome trim at top of door

    Thank you Jim - I appreciate any help that I can get. But I think the part in you pictures is the inner trim for the top of the door; the one that has the walnut panel. What I am working on is the trim on the outside of the glass. Here is a shot of where one of the five clips holding the...

    Questions about chrome trim at top of door

    Are both of the parts I asked about, the rubber seal and the "U" shaped clip, NLA? I sure hope not! The rubber seal I can live without. Mine look pretty bad and I though it would be easy to replace them while I have things apart. But the car will still run with my old seals (luckily, I...

    Questions about chrome trim at top of door

    I have two questions regarding the chrome trim that goes on the outside top of the doors. 1) The rubber seals that go against the vent window frames (adjacent to the cross hatching in photo below) are cracked and brittle, so I’d like to replace them. Is this part #9 or 12 in the diagram below...

    Wanting to use LED lights in the taillights.

    No, you can't put an 1157 -type bulb into an 1156 socket. The 1157's have their two locking nubs offset, so that the bulb can only be inserted one way (see below). This ensures that the two, different wattage filaments (brighter for turnsignal / brake, dimmer for tail) get connected to the...

    Sunvisor Pivots - old vs. new

    Alright, thank you for the photo of the correct part and explanation of why there is a hexagonal socket on the e9 pivot. Still, I have to say that the e12 pivots do work OK and don't look all that incorrect.

    Sunvisor Pivots - old vs. new

    Chernobyl, actually. But sure, I'd paint it at a minimum, since it will be going on a new headliner.

    Sunvisor Pivots - old vs. new

    I think I'm finally starting to understand. So I think you are saying: - The plastic mounts I recently received from W&N are correct for an e9. - However, the bent, metal shafts connect the mounts to the sunvisors that I have (see first photo below) are not correct; these should have a...

    Sunvisor Pivots - old vs. new

    Arde: Thank you for the fast reply! Can you clarify what you meant by "it came with a shaft"? Do you mean that your plastic piece came with a second part - probably made of metal - that fits into that hexagonal hole? Do you recall who you got it from? W&N and Maximillian's site just show...

    Sunvisor Pivots - old vs. new

    I realize that there are a LOT of existing threads about sunvisor pivots. Most of these are of the "where can I get them?" form, or announce a new and improved version made from titanium or kryptonite. But I've got a different issue: My existing pivots aren't original; I probably got them...

    Can't access my hood release

    The only source for the original latch/button would be finding a good, used one. I don't believe those parts are being reproduced. The conversion should be straightforward as long as the previous owner didn't enlarge the hole in the door, or otherwise mung things up (as previous owners are...

    Fuse box upgrade (prototype)

    Oh, I see. Some rows just have 4 connectors.

    Fuse box upgrade (prototype)

    I'm counting 50 spade connectors on the back side of that fusebox and 10 fuse slots on the front. Why 5 connectors per fuse? I understand that some fuses may power 2 or 3 circuits, but are there really 50 wires connected to an e9 fusebox?

    Original Zenith carburetors wanted

    I suspect our VERY knowledgeable vintage bmw Service/Resto shop Owner is thinking that tuning a pair of used Zeniths will be a lot of work with a small pay-off. On the other hand, he can bolt on a set of new Weber DGAV's and they'll run OK out of the box. And, he'll get the mark-up on the...

    Aircela demonstrates a renewable way to make fuel...

    Exactly. And Aircela doesn't mention the ratio of energy in to energy out. They stress that the source of the energy is "renewable", as if renewable energy was free. The big advantage of this - over clean hydrogen, batteries, etc. - is that it is compatible with existing internal combustion...
