Finished up my Clardy install.  Unfortunately I was missing the side panels next to the shifter so I had to fabricate those but I think it came out pretty nice!

It looks great: my only suggestion — you knew I’d have a suggestion — is to swap those bright-finish screws and washers for black anodized screws and washers.... ?

 

Your homemade shifter side panels look measurably better than Clardy’s chintzy-plastic side-panel covers! ?

 

Regards,

I finally finished my custom carpet install!  I’ve been working on this for almost 2 months now. It’s been a lot of effort and a lot of learning, but I’m super happy with how it came out. It all fits

Sometimes turning the rheostat back and forth a bit will get it working again. Dash lights at full strength are ok in well-lit areas but they'll hurt your night vision on a dark road.

 

Tried turning the rheostat MANY times.  After pulling the switch out and getting it in some light, the coil and the contact are actually very clean.  Without disassembling the switch, I can't tell for sure what the problem is. 

 

One thing I did notice was a white powdery residue on the black work surface I was using.  It had to have come from inside the switch, and looked like what you might find if a dry cell battery leaked.

 

I rarely drive this car at night, so I'm not too concerned, but if I have the chance to get a working switch, I'll probably do so.

You must be clairvoyant!  I was actually planning to do that very thing.  The bright finish was all I had lying around.

That white powder is corrosion of the rheostat element.  Thoroughly spray the element with Deoxit or CRC contact cleaner and then, as Jimmy said, work it back and forth some more.  That sometimes fixes it when just working it back and forth doesn't, and you spray it down without disassembling it.

    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
