I like shopping at Blunttech.  RealOEM is great for finding part numbers.

Thanks. Used the lart numbers and was able to get them from the local BMW dealer for $16

Finished up some trim:

now time for the headliner. Anyone know where to get the plastic grommets that the headliner supports/bars go into? All mine broke into a million pieces. 

Sorry to bump an old thread but any chance for another round of these?

Looking good! I can relate to "...when I took it apart...". I bought a project, realized I was in over my head, so I sold the main components and bought a relatively sorted 72 2002...and immediately proceeded to start taking things apart. Think I am going to limit myself to stuff I can get done in the next few days. Treat it like a daily driver.

Ive felt in over my head multiple times on this but keep pushing through and have amazed myself at how much i have learned. However not sure i would want to do another 🤣

@M3This .... looks stunning.  Cannot wait to see a video off it ripping up to Bogus.

Thanks getting excited. Should be heading your way soon for drivetrain install with Matt. Hoping to be ripping it up Bogus by middle to end of summer. 

Installed the grills on my car. First time the exterior is looking complete since i took her apart 2.5 years ago.

Did you ask SOC?  I would start there.  Off hand, I would say the level of fit and finish on his parts is very (very) high.  Still there is always going to be some fettling attaching A to B.  There are others besides Chris.  I would go back to my first line, ask the vendor your questions, if you get answers you don't like or need more info, ask others.

Thanks for the share of my IG account. If anyone has questions please feel free to message me as im happy to answer them. IG is usually quicker as I'm on there more often then FAQ but also I check PMs on here as well occasionally. 
 

As for the quality its top notch. If you look at anything Paul does its above and beyond as his craftsmanship is his art and he treats it that way. Just look at his personal 2002 builds and the amount of detail work in each. 
 

When Bart @ the Resto Shop did all the body work on my car the SOC parts needed very little work but Paul had done all the installation previously to Bart getting the car. 

Got this complete this weekend finally!!! Thanks for such an amazing write up. 
 

if anyone has a suggestion on the best thread for doing the adjustments please post it below. 

Thank you!

Hi Guys,

I was looking for the part numbers for the small trim that is riveted in to the body within the door jams that the rubber seals mount to. I think I found it on real OEM, but GetBMWParts is saying its discountinued. Is that the case or are these the wrong numbers?

… that’s my take on the earlier posters image of the two types of plastic bushes. There were only three locations on the window I found the old ones, #5 being one location. 
 

As an aside, there is also a small plastic bush of a very similar nature on the rear quarter window as well. 

Thanks for confirming that. Maybe i can  email MCMaster about the white ones and just suck it up and order the black ones from BMW

Also based on realoem the black ones look like they are available from BMW but if the white ones are #5 above they are not.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the white ones where the #8 screw is referenced are for the split pin that goes through the window glass support rail. So that’s the minimum ID I assume. 

would that be #5 below?

Sorry I misread it.

 

Whether you can use a slightly different size depends on how it’s used in the window. What’s the critical dimension? Length? ID or OD? Whats not critical to it’s function can likely have a different dimension…

 

i think the black ones are for #20 in the image below but not sure what the white ones are used for. 
 

I havent gotten into the install yet as was just trying to make sure ingather all the parts first.

White looks 1/4” ID x 1/4” long, so https://www.mcmaster.com/6389K352

 

Black looks to be 6mm ID x 5mm long with 10mm OD. They only show 4mm and 6mm length, and only in off-white. Get a 6mm and shave a mm?

https://www.mcmaster.com/6389K713

 

 

i think the 2nd ones might work but the the first i dont think will as it needs to 1/4” OD with  5/32” ID (i guess thats the diameter of a #8 screw) and 1/4” long. 
 

thanks for showing me these though

Part number 52208238999.  Available at Blunttech, Walloth & Nesch, Rogerstii, AutohausAZ, FCPEuro... to name a few. 

Hi Karl,

is that for these:

or the rubber grommets that go in the door locks? As im looking for those above that go in the glass.

If you're referring to the anti-rattle bushings on the rod connecting the inside door handle to the latch mechanism, last time I checked Blunt had 'em.

Hi Mike,

I'm looking for the ones that go to the glass

M3 better hurry you might need that snow shovel next week. Your car is really looking nice.

hahaha. Been so warm and dry up here this year. Don’t even have one day on the mountain yet this year. 
 

and thanks for the kind words. 

Got the taillights back in since the trim rings came back from polishing as well as installed the 2002 emblem and mvp tail trim. Now just needs the trunk lock and and SOC bumper installed.

Great development work, @uai.  -KB

 

(As a side note - which I'm you sure know - KW will build custom dampers to most-any spec (ie: adjustment range centered on track use, ignoring street.))

 

 

 

This. My KWs were built with spring rates that I provided. However with that said they don't have any caster adjustment which the new Son Of Cobra / Ground Control / MCS coilovers do:
