Hi, I am replacing the front nose panel on my 1972 2002. The car was hit in the front and as such I need to position the new panel precisely. Yes, I have seen all the factory and other dimensions but none of these go from an established point on the body to any points on the nose panel!
Does anyone have a dimension from the body to the nose? There are three holes in the top of the nose panel but I have no way of knowing if these are symetricly opposite. Note that for "squaring" up the front end, one needs to use two diagonal lines to equal points, when these lines become equal on the body-panel, then the shape is square. This technique is only useable if the points used are know symetric (same left verese right).
Anyway, if anyone has battled this before, I'd appreciate any numbers. (actually, with all of the 2002 front end accidents, one would think that BMW would have this available).
Thanks to all.
