Looking to buy a factory 2002 alloy wheel as pictured - new or used.  I only need one but am open to multiple or a set 

Ryoller - any condition can work, well … might work. Details details

NM Derek, you did get my attention   If only it wasn't a Turkis like repaint over the og Fjord, gas and food money would be already be incoming!  And a return ticket as well 😁 

Thanks a ton for bringing it to my attention 😎

Thanks for the replies thus far - I don't mind patina as shown on the sienna brown car above although brown is probably not my color - thx Esty 

Wanted 74-76 square tail light 2002.  Must be original paint, manual or auto

The distance below the ball alters the length of the ‘throw’ (fore/aft distance) between gears as already pointed out.
 

Your problem of not being able to find the reverse gate is more likely the 2 bushings, #12&14 in pic below and inside the chrome shifter lever

Thanks to all for your input - Chris B, Mccusername, UAI, the Furry guy, Mike G and Ken

I have more than enough contacts now to get a sense of what to do!

Thank you, Thank you

Thanks Dlacey, Ken & Furry - who can I send my diff to for the refresh

Hey Furry, it is a short neck affair - where would I source the clutch discs?

Right - it’s an early ‘69 2002 diff and as such is not from an e21.

Morning all - I have a 3.64 lsd that needs its slip function refreshed. Who are the options these days?

Thx, 1600

Hi Tom,

No obvious (ugly) bumping although the magnetic ring was definitely not seated on the distributor shaft and as indicated, it was starting to visually separate.  My client installed this Pertronix approximately 1K miles ago and noticed no issues while running at rpm but also noticed the erratic tach needle at idle.  Upon refitting, the ring did not want to "lock in" but then again it is a simple press/interference fit.  I put on a couple dabs of contact cement before seating it back down.  Also, the pickup assy was not sitting square/perpendicular to the shaft so I shimmed it and set at +/- .030"

Overall it's impressive how well these Pertronix gizmos perform even when not perfectly installed.

On another somewhat related note, I've been running a (points driven) Delta CD system in my car since 1970 with no failures or hiccups ever!

Points -- the forgotten switch ?

On an otherwise strong running tii I experienced a troubling and somewhat ephemeral "ghost" miss at idle.  Visually, the tach needle would hunt or blip at idle .  This is what I found - the first pic shows the magnetic ring exactly as I saw it on the distributor shaft - it had separated in place.  Second and third pics show the ring's clever construction with magnets.  I lightly cleaned all pieces, glued it back together and reinstalled.  Miss and blip gone.

My 02 cents:

Decades ago we could put the KYB supplied upper bushing in either way and it worked just fine.  However some years ago the bushing density changed and would pull through as the original poster has described.  No amount of tightening or washer combination worked.  The solution was simply using the factory BMW bushing in the orientation shown below, BMW metal washers and BMW metal sleeve

Carlos is correct - use of the term Roundie is indeed a modern descriptor of the 1967-1973  (2-door) cars.  If memory serves, I do not recall hearing the term Roundie until the 90's.  Having started in the BMW dealership system in the 1970's and subsequently the independent scene in the 80's, we simply referred to the pre-74 cars as round tail light 2002's and the '74 and newer cars as square tail light 2002's. 

While undoubtedly affectionate, the term Roundie is just another example of how language and word usage changes through time.  I think we all get that. 

Older folks, like Carlos (el Chacal) and myself, simply have no use for the term Roundie, or slick-top, or ........

'Round tail-light' suits us just fine ?

The connector is an odd shape - does look very German but likely not native to the 1600/2002 chassis.  The hazard switch and proper connector are present and in the center console.  The green/brown wire does find its way to fuse #4, thank you John!  As always, your diagrams are perfectly organic and better than factory    So am thinking it was an oddball connector repurposed as a 'junction block'? 

Found this odd shaped connector dangling underneath dash on my '73 and don't recognize it.  All large wires with colors that suggest heater blower or a.c. or ?  This car does not have a.c. and never did.  Seems like it should have a home or maybe it just hangs out by the heater box?

A few more indicators of the Ceylon car's originality currently on BaT:

  * hand brushed black paint on the hood supports

  * original magnetic oil drain plug

  * plastic caps on reservoir screws 

Had same issue on a client's car last week - very similar symptoms - turned out to be a bad tach.  I simply removed the black wire from the distributor post and then ran a jumper from the same distributor post to the negative side of the coil thus eliminating the tach as a potential problem.  Fired right up.

Good Luck

Send pics when you can - thank you

Looking for a very nice condition glovebox for a 1973

Thx.  1600

Yes - extremely talented fella.  The list of talented suppliers and artists that support the hobby is very long indeed.  My original post was and is meant to be a positive thank you to all of the known, barely known and unknown gals/guys/shops that go to bat for all of us.  Every now and then ya just gotta say thanks!

Good stuff Cruzr - all of these shops don't get rich off of us to be sure.  They work very hard to make a few bucks.  Occasionally there are blips but by and by they do get it mostly right.
