For all of you who have rebuilt engines and suffered project creep.. what did you do, when after you Alumablasted all your covers, painted the block, pan etc. and then realized that your fasteners look like shit?

 

Does anyone offer an OEM type fastener kit for the covers, water pump, oil filter adapter,oil pan, Etc?  Sifting through Realoem and ordering proper dimension bolts, one by one, that just doesn't sound like a good time.

 

Please advise.

Another solution, which I learned from another FAQ member (BillWilliams), is to remove all of the fasteners and washers, etc. and to sandblast them.  Following that, you can send them all to a plater, who will plate them in any finish you want.  It can also really make your subframe fasteners really pop.  Yellow zinc looks particularly nice, IMO.  You can see an example of if in the suspension rehab writeup in the FAQ Articles section.

Been through that for a customer's suspension. Looked amazing, but my timeline is pre-2020 on finishing this.  Hell, its pre 11/1/13.


Do you still have the part number list?

Sure, I can post or send it to you this evening. It is tii-specific, and has a few different sizes for things like crank trigger bracket, but is pretty comprehensive. BTW--great eyes seeing that plated wrench! --Fred

I just picked-up a batch from the cad plating shop (the 'spec' for silver color is clear) ... no need to media blast parts at this shop, which saves lots of time. -KB

Sort the fasteners into two buckets, depending on whether they appear to have originally been clear zinc (silver as above) or cadmium-plated (now often done in yellow zinc). Get them plated the same way and your engine will pop!

There's a (probably very) minor business opportunity waiting for somebody who assembled a kit like this for the M10 and various '02 sub-systems. Obviously bolt use should dictate bolt material and grade. Very common in the m/c and vintage Japanese car arena.

I recently did this, was a little bit of a PIA, though the ones that came off of my front timing cover (tii) were metric socket cap bolts in class 12.9 (black oil finish), so they had the added benefit of being stronger than the typical class 8.8 (not that any of them really need to be stronger than 8.8).  Somewhere I have a picture, has a good look I will say (and this is the way AlpinA re-assembled this particular engine....)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
