Recommended Posts

Just snapped the bolt on one of my rusted metal rocker fasteners - argh i think they are nla - anyone got one or suggestions?  I have a partial set of Rimspoke fasteners and one looks the right size except for the sides - were those intended for the Rockers?

The PO of my daily had already drilled holes for screws into mine- so I just re- used the screwholes! Never lost one...

 

You will probably have to make something at this point- the plastic clips are OK for the middle, but a positive

bolt on front and rear is almost mandatory.  Maybe something with a fender washer, or an elevator bolt?  Those things are cool...

photos?

I wonder if you can just fix it

put a new screw through it ?

drill a small enough hole that it is a tight fit

that ought to hold it enough to put a nut on it

just a dab of JB under/on the head, just because

 

On my car, the metal clip at the front of the trim piece, was not holding it in.

I made a crude little block out of plastic (uhmw) and added a stainless screw.  

It uses the original clip hole and pulls the trim in tight.

Save the little rubber bits.  They are not so much seals to stop water, as to keep dirt out and paint from chafing.  (That is my guess anyway).

    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
