I'm wanting to see if anybody wants to take over the making of the A/C brackets for the M10 engine. I'm just wanting to get enough to cover the jig/software I had made for the bracket.

It cost $500 for the jig and the software so that's what I'm looking to get. The jig will give the new owner the ability to make sure that the quality is consistent with every batch of brackets. Someone with access to laser cutter and welder could make all the profit for themselves. Unlike me I had to pay a shop to do all the work, cutting, bending and welding. If you are interested in this and would like to take this over, shoot me an email (dave.hobiedave@gmail.com). 

Thanks

Dave

The jig and software have Been passed on to the new owner. He will be keeping the bracket name and making a good quality bracket for our community.

Thank you all for your support over the years. I was close to 400 brackets sold. Dosn't seem like that many unless you think of if I had not made the first one.  What started out as just a bracket for my car. Turned into something for the whole community. 

Thank you

Dave

Dave, I've just installed your bracket on my 76, it went on perfectly with the Sanden clone compressor.  Thanks for supporting the community and if you're still flying, stay safe out there.

Thanks Dave for what you did for the community for all those years. How many people can say that they were an actual brand?

    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
