    Yup Tommy. They were ‘customizing’ imported BMW NKs at the end… The NK site had a long thread on ‘em (when a FN 2000ti came up for sale back in 2011). https://www.02forum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=3977

    FWIW 0 231 115 072 (a JFUR4 type) The 115 072 was used in the 1600, 1600-2, 1600, 1600 Touring, 1602, and 1800 possible shaft donors: 115 072 was the first replacement for the 0 231 115 048 (JFUR4) used in the 1600, 1600-2, 1600, 1602, and 1800 Other JFUR4 or similar vintage JFR4/JFUD4 dizzys: 115 045, 129 026, 129 033, 180 004, 115 071, 115 081

    Yep, you guys are spot on. It’s cited as 25Nm ( 18.1 ft-lb) for Housing bolts for the 235/5... That 8x130 bolt is WIDELY used across many Bimmers and lots of usages (steering pumps, alternator mounts beside transmission housings), so still available everywhere.

    Mark - IIRC, the 235/5 specs incl torques are in the BMW Repair Manual, Gearbox section… https://www.bmw2002faq.com/articles/technical-articles/history-and-reference/bmw-2002-service-repair-manual-r247/ Tom

    It’s a Frazier-Nash BMW? “UK agents for BMW arranged coachwork and made modifications, including badging the cars "Frazer Nash BMW".

    Fuyao makes great glass, they’re a BMW OE supplier, and have US centers — no need to hide or remove the bug Late Pilkington FW227s carry DOT177, meaning they were manufactured by L-N Safety Glass SA de CV in Mexicali, another NSG subsidiary. For authenticity for the white glove types you’d want original SIGLA and VEGLA glass bugs on your 02…

    Based on the ISO numbers, I think that’s a wiper relay, not the flasher relay? SoM beat me to it…

    Nope, laughing too much…

    Thanks. $30 for SS ain’t bad ( I could easily go SS vs Al). Didn’t know they also offered finishes too. I only need a single bracket made… So I’ll convert my ‘to-scale sketch’ into a proper 3D model to upload! Tom

    The Austin Seven was lic by Eisenach which was purchased by BMW to create the BMW Dixi. ?

    My throttle linkage only gets hot whenever I’m out “getting coffee”…

    If yours ain’t working , take a very close look at the bottom of your wiper arms. (and yes, you do have to take them off to examine the ‘retention’ geometry between the spring hook, and where & how it hooks and the arm pivot movement). Your wiper arm could be old and worn, yes, but it could also just need a simple spring retention adjustment, or it’s sliding parts lubed… When it works, and it stays upright, there’s a noticeable physical ’detent/click’ point about 1” from the full swing up. The detent is actually even more noticeable when you start to move the arm back to the window, and you see/feel the point the strong spring pull happens. The lower spring hook rotates in its lower catch (while the upper spring hook moves in/out in the arm ) and the bottom of the arm ‘surround’ actually slightly pivots a degree or two in relation to it’s innards as it rotates on the lower pin at the top to engage the hold. When lowering, it’s the opposite rotate action the moment that the spring begins to pull down. A dirty/unsmooth interface between those two outer parts of the lower arm attachment surround or a binding pin might also prevent the necessary movement… yeah, I had to check it 😋

    Agree. Also advise having any heavy-load stereo/amps separately wired w/ fusible link to battery +/-

    Installed my pair of ‘winterization’ enhancements for my ol’ dual DCOEs. So so nice…

    I don’t think we had a door buzzer. The only wiring to the doors is to illuminate the overhead interior light. It’s likely the seat belt warning buzzer. Mine’s long gone… Maybe a search on the seat belt warning gizmo might turn up where it was mounted.

    Never mind. Found it with the under-dash panels…

    Learned something new. I’ve seen that curved cushiony panel before but just thought it was an ‘early style’ lower cover with the choke/hazard bits! So a final dumb question: where’s this lower cushiony trim panel in RealOEM? When I select a USA car, the steering column parts look the same as Euro/RoW… no lower cushion. Tom

    Modell 73 (74-76) were squaretail cars with the black plastic grilles and larger center kidney. 68-73 02s were roundies with chrome grilles and the more slender kidney. You have the later grilles & kidneys, with an early nose.

    Those small C holes being threaded - like something mounts and screws into the bottom cover panel itself - never made sense to me. All the other bottom cover holes take a through-fastener that screws into something ABOVE the cover. Not into the cover itself… Curious myself now, Cris! Tom

    Another pic. The C holes are actually threaded into the plastic but I’ve never had anything in them… so, to me, a mystery.

    Cris - can you change your attachment to jpg, gif or png? Those are the native FAQ image formats… EDIT: lol - just saw you did! My bad I ain’t got anything in C. Looks like short sheet metal screws in D?

    got cylinders?

    The pianos don’t look ‘grand’ ( tall) enough to be 9.5:1 to my eyes.. I’ll guess they’re the 9.0:1.

    For you guys who are familiar, what would something like this bracket cost - cut from 2mm or 1/8” alum plate? Cut, drill 6 holes, bend 70deg… thx Tom
