    '73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

    Not a huge amount done lately, mostly little odds and sods on wiring, brake pipe holders for the struts, and picked up some m5 water pipes which looks like an e28 m5 radiator should go straight in. Original throttle linkage goes on with some extension, and also got a bunch of bmw hose clips as...

    E24 635 manual recommission

    @Arde this is a set of Recaros I done with the kit which are now installed in my Mk1 golf. They have lasted about 6 years and have held up fantastic, the kit cost about £50 from memory. Won't be showroom fresh but it still has the character and patina of the seat without looking tatty

    E24 635 manual recommission

    I use a kit from a company called furniture clinic in the UK. Thoroughly clean the leather with isopropyl alcohol and if needs be for any cracks, use a flexible leather filler which is then sanded down. I then apply leather dye with a sponge or cheap airbrush, then multiple coats of sealant

    Who repairs RHD Brake servos

    This was my solution. Twin circuit booster from the same company @Rek purchased from. Only issue I had was that the outlets are 3/8 UNF rather than M10. I have reused the original banjo bolts and unions from the bmw servos but retapped the banjo bolts to 3/8 which is about 9.5mm rather than...

    4 speed or 5 speed?

    If changing diff ratio don't forget will need the speedo to suit. Mine had a 4.10,but a speedo for a 3.25! So at 100mph was doing an indicated 140ish. I do a lot of highway driving so have gone for the 3.25 with an OD 5 speed, although running a bit more power than stock, on a standard 3.0 a...

    '73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

    A bit more done, engine harness now located and the ecu and relays under the dash just waiting for final mounting. Famous last words but seems pretty straightforward. A few wires run from the painless harness to the engine harness for the temp gauge, battery charge and pressure lights. This...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Installed the new dual circuit brake servo and made a start on wiring. Please note the environmentally friendly engine mount as I'm still working out lowering the engine so it doesn't smash the hood on full load

    '73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

    Brackets painted up and the servo sits quite nicely in there. Also moved the header tank over about 20mm and dropped the engine for the linkage to clear the hood. Made a start on the wiring, removing the unnecessary gubbins from the m88 harness which has left me with about 8 wires to connect up...

    '73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

    Gearbox in, also sorted out the fitment of the new brake servo, twin circuit but only one booster so saves a fair bit of weight and space. Mounts up on the standard brackets with a small adaptor plate. Also shifted the header tank over slightly for more clearance to the plenum. Need to...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Went to clean the garage and ended up dropping in the new heart. Stay tuned for 70 pages of not being able to get her running and ignoring everyone's advice!

    '73 3.0CS - M88 Jerez Schwarz build

    Hardened crank hub fitted. The old one had definitely broken a dowel pin at some point as there was signs it had spun, some scoring on the crank but nothing major, new dowel pin, hub, and revised nut/washer fitted. Also got the flywheel and clutch fitted and the engine mounts. All that's left...
