Looking for a Choke Knob for my 1970 BMW 2002.

Try calling Maximillian Importing at +1 800-950-2002.

I just looked at RealOEM and do not see the part number for the starter bracket. Its labeled as 24 on this image (https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enus/showparts?id=2552-USA-05-1969-114-BMW-2002&diagId=12_0937) but 24 is not in the parts list.

Yes!

A road built with BMW in mind.

Chrome plate or possibly Electroless Nickel Coating

Headers are typically ceramic coated not powder coated. Normal powder coats cannot take the heat of a header. Ceramic coatings are cured at a higher temperature than powder coatings. I think you will be disappointed on the durability of powder coating where there is a sliding contact.

Dave, I use a caustic zinc electro-plating process with yellow conversion coating from Caswell Plating, see https://www.caswellplating.com/copy-cad-zinc-plating-kit-3-gal.html In the past, I was a foreman in a manufacturing facility that used the same electro-plating process . Regards, Roger

There are many grades of stainless steel, some are hardenable via heat treatment (e.g. 410, 416, 440C, 17-4 ph), some are work hardenable (e.g. 303, 304).

Zinc plated 4 sets of trunk (boot) lock parts. Very happy with the results.

What you made looks really nice.

FYI, I just purchased a new “plastic bearing” from Maximillian Importing. They evidently have a source in Germany. It took a couple weeks to arrive.

I have several trunk locks with keys if you want from 1967, 1969 1974 or 1976 I’m sure ECS Tuning will accept a return.
