Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!

Song, IMO $50 well worth it, I had mine and was charge $75. I haven't been able to reassemble the seats as I can't locate my notes as to the sequence of the washers to mount the back to the bottom. If you have photos or the sequence of that area please post.
Thanks, Roger

Throttle Gattor replacement

From the numerous photos I've looked at I've noticed many of our cars have the throttle cable rubber gattor missing or damaged. I purchased BMW part 32732325866. The part is not listed as compatible with the M30 engine, however, it worked perfectly. I hope this assists other enthusiasts. The details...

I can't help with the alignment. I just received my car back after a respray, Bonnet is aligned, however, the bonnet bump stops were not installed which prevent the bonnet from hitting the car.

Back from restoration

It has been quite a long time!!!  Finally, the car has been delivered.  I'll post additional photos/comments when organized.  The interior still needs to be finished and installed.
I'll be attending the Vintage and hope to meet several members.

Use a windshield sealant, you'll have to smooth the material (let it set up somewhat) around the wires, etc. Yeh, it can be messy, go slow.

I received progress photos from the shop and noticed the rockers were not painted black. I discussed this with the shop. It's their opinion the blac...

Re: What Kind of Power Steering Fluid Do You Use?

Fill it to 10 mm below the top rim. You may want to change the filter and add a magnetic.
Search TECH TIPS, for addition info. I would go with Dexron IV (from memory) as recommended by BMW. Roger

Re: BBS RC090 finish selection opinion

Hi Bert,
I believe the grub/set screw pertain to RS90 wheels, cast aluminium only. Apparently they hold the waffles in place on the webs. I'll request photos from Paul and the body shop to post.

The plastic waffles of the RC90 lock into place.

How's the Lincoln hub project coming along?
