ok. yes, i've read the brake upgrade in the FAQ - http://www.bmw2002faq.com/content/view/44/33/
however, i'm confused. maybe i'm overthinking it a bit too much...
1. i'm not sure if i have "regular" strut housings, or tii housings. guy i purchased the car from (Bobby at Strictly German in Braselton, GA) is still looking for the title, but says my car is a tii - but the vin plate does not say, as it just says 2002. it's a 1969 per the 2002 registry. how can i tell visually? or do i just need to measure spindles?
2. as per the faq, the setup is different for the tii/non-tii - different calipers, different year hubs (from what it says, but same car???) and likely different bearings. question is, i thought that tii calipers could fit a non-tii car??? and what makes 77-79 vs 81-83 hubs different?
3. can i do the volvo calipers (already have them) and the e21 hubs/rotors from a 77 on a tii and a non-tii? if yes, great. if no, why not?
4. what advantage if any are the tii vs non-tii housings? car will be a weekend driver and sometimes track toy.
5. if it turns out i have tii strut housings, anyone want to trade for non-tii housings? - TBD later...
6. if the car isn't a tii, but instead a ti - will the non-tii method work?
sorry for the noob questions, but i am trying to get everything sourced before i dive into this car as a project...
thanks!
