Have been shopping for ideas on what to use as a filter for my Weber 40s. saw this on eBay - anyone else using this push in filters on their standard Weber 40 horns?

Greetings all haven’t posted on here in quite a while. Have been busy with work and my rear subframe as well as other little projects. I have a stated goal of getting the car back together before Vintage 2020. everything takes longer than I think it should mostly my fault. The rear subframe could’ve been an easy thing for me to simply swap from my parts car to my project car. This is because I had overhauled a year before. But I wanted to change a few things. I bought a boxed in rear trailing arms, poly trailing arms bushings, replaced all the seals on the Limited slip differential, repacked the CV joints and added new boots, Acquired new hardware, used e21 axles, with inner e21 CV joint and outer 2002 cv joint, swapped in the e21 rear brake drums and painted it all with POR 15. here are some pictures - I’ll also post the final pictures when I get it together

Options 1. If you decide to go the route of recovering, Maxillion has original vinyl in stock. You can buy the material and take it to the upholstery shop. Or just have the shop try and match the Recaros. 2. Budget- Walmart or similar big box store will have bench seat covers. Bonus - if they don’t fit right easy to return. 3. Rear seat delete. 4. E24 rear seat swap - May take some hunting to find black - (I actually enjoy a good parts hunt - internet has made that easy) 5. post a WTB “want to buy” and see what people have for sale. You may get lucky. 6. Take some measurements and head to the pick and pull junk yard - you may find something that will fit with some slight modifications Good luck.

Thank you. Re hard line length. Probably as good a guess as any - this was the first time I had ever seen my rear subframe off the car. i wasn’t sure if that’s just how it was done. Needless to say I’m replacing all those lines old lines with new ones in the next few weeks. I’ve never heard of these... will check them out.

So last couple weeks I’ve been really focused on the rear subframe. I was unaware one of my rear trailing arms was in pretty poor shape. It appears that at some point someone decided to tow the car using the rear trailing arm and that caused some dents. I posted some pictures of the rear trailing arm on Facebook Bmw 2002 modifiers group and the general consensus was that I could just mount everything and keep on trucking. There was also a comment that my rear trailing arms need to be “boxed” in or should be boxed in. This was the first I had ever heard of doing that. Having a new modification to consider combined with the damage was enough to get me searching for options. So I did a quick search for trailing arms on eBay and sure enough I was able to find a set had already been boxed in. Now I get the joy of removing my e21 Rear brake upgrade from the old rear trailing arm and placing them on the new rear trailing arms. Which are being shipped to me as I type this - I hope. I also was able to get my front springs load it onto the struts with my bilstein shocks and new rubber. Thanks to the help of a local BMW enthusiast who happened to have a real spring compression tool. An embarrassing thing happened- I have to tell you - I ordered all front springs not knowing the rear were different. So nw I have extra set of brand new springs. I had my axles assembled by my local shop with new boots. I had them connect the e21 inner cv joints and 2002 outer cv joints to e21 axles and then I painted them all black. In the engine bay I’m waiting on the firewall grommets to arrive before I fully button up the engine and fill with my new radiator with coolant. I hav s Shortened drive shaft ordered from I.E. I had the LSD resealed. Steady as she goes... PS I bought a 93 e34 touring for another fun project - it will be back burner until I finish this on. Will post some pics soon.
