    Thanks Randy, I've read those. Just asking if there is a visual way of distinguishing lsd diff ratio by looking at it. Same as the gearbox (but need to know which 5 speed).

    Is there a way to visually determining the model of gearbox and diff (ratio)? Just inspecting a potential parts car and need to know what gearbox and diff it has because the owner doesnt know. Cheers

    Looking for early door card skins in any condition.

    That's even more outrageous than them not being able to verify my vin number. It's like I tell my kids not to change shirts when they're outside because I won't be able to prove they're my kids. You can't re-birth a car by making it look like the one made by its manufacturer. Beside the obvious fact that it's a fraudulent act, it's literally impossible to have it registered by local transport authorities.

    Yes we both have Identical Tii's both made in March 73. I think the VIN issue could be with RHD cars only.

    I've tried to order some parts from BMW Classic in Munich using their website (these guys are actual BMW company not a dealer), they got back to me saying that my VIN number doesnt match the parts I've ordered and therefore they're not able to sell me those parts. I've run my VIN number in their parts order website and it came up as GB81 181 0226 7' E32 Sedan 750i L A. I replied saying that the VIN search BMW are using is wrong. Iv'e asked them to contact Julia at BMW Classic Archive and she can confirm my VIN number is not a 7 series BMW. They replied, "You are at liberty to order what you want. If the part you order is not a match to your car, you cannot return the item". One would assume that people who made the car would have a clue about its correct VIN number. Meanwhile, I've applied for VIN certificate to be issued to my name and it was mailed to me last week. When it arrives, I will scan a copy and send it to BMW classic parts shop with a picture of Mr Bean showing his middle finger! Has anyone else had VIN issues ordering from BMW or dealer? Thanks

    Maybe, but I'm sure back in the 70's people were expressing analogous sentiments towards their 1930's BMW 328 sports coupe and it's correct mirrors. [emoji6]

    Yes they're all available at a price. Rogerstii sell the repro at $202.64 each. Blunttech sell them for $195.62 each and my local dealer sell the same one for $398 each. They're (in my opinion) better built and quality than used OEM.

    I have new pairs of spare repro trapezoids and flags that I'll be selling soon but I'm not in USA. I'm installing new chrome talbots.

    That means turbo was also released with trap mirrors.
  11. Driv3r
    So do you reckon mirror style was a customer option?
  12. Driv3r
    What is the correct side mirror for my March 73 Tii? RogersTii description says that Trapezoidal mirrors were installed up until 1972 on 02s. Since I bought my car in pieces as a project, a set of flag mirrors were included in parts box. I have seen a lot of 73 Tii's with Trapezoid mirrors and like to know if my car originally came with flag mirrors or trapezoids. Thanks

    I've spent hours on painting valve covers so finally gave up and settled on this.

    Standard M10 bolts are not 10.9 steel, they're 8.8. So if they're 17mm head in 10.9 grade, they'll be fine.

    Noooooo! He was a legend. This is so sad. RIP

    I know Shaun's been busy with work but he will catchup to it soon.

    @QuestionableSour Is this powder coated? No.

    Autosol Aluminum Polish does the job. If it's already polished to shine and you just want to clean and give it a mirror shine then use Autosol Aluminum Spray with either a sponge or microfibre cloth.

    I use rain-x and it works. Just apply before the trip.
  20. Driv3r
    I'll take it PM sent
  21. Driv3r
    Thanks much appreciated boys. Cheers

    Have you got any photo of how you duct air (im not using airdam). Much appreciated.
  23. Driv3r
    Thanks Toby, I'll look into adapters. [emoji1360]

    I've already got new reconditioned Volvo's installed. I haven't been able to find next level upgrade option from Volvo calipers to somethings with better braking power. Car is turbocharged and I was looking into options (if any) to go booster-less. Thanks
  25. Driv3r
    Thanks Toby, so what are my options if I was going to upgrade Volvo calipers?
