I don't see anything for an E9 but I found one that looks right for the following cars.
Front Door Check Stop - 123 720 05 16 - Mercedes 230/240D/280E/300D/300TD, 77-85.

Does that look right to you?

Hal, I presume that the O2 sensor connects to the 123 distributor and makes adjustment automatically?

Wonderful thanks

Thanks Hal, going to look into ordering it right now. How do I combine this with O2 sensor? Thanks

The top pic is the broken original. Second image is the arm from the broken assembly alongside the aftermarket unit which fits but arm is too short. Door stop from 2002 is simply too short.
The way it bolts in is virtually the same.

Thanks

Never mind. Amazon has one for 45$ 360mm

I'm going to replace my distributor and was looking into the electronic one for the tii. I'm Wondering what the group recommends for a replacement.

I found one that you can adjust using an app on your phone haha. Pretty cool but pricey.

Where can I purchase a 5 blade fan for a reasonable price?

So I have an aftermarket doorstop for a 2002 but the arm is too short for the 2000ti door so I was going to do some cutting and welding to make it happen. I'd rather not!

Having said that, does anyone out there have an extra driver side door stop for sale?

Thanks

I knew you wouldn't like that chris. I'm still debating it. Trying to picture it. I may just powder coat it all a pewter colour. How about just blue hoses then?

Hans, here is a couple pics of the inside. I don't see a marking for float level. Not sure what to look for.

Also, I have these base gaskets for heat conduction for a Webber. They are a little to big in diameter. Do you think that will matter or should I try and find the right size?

Hans, that's a nice clean looking engine. I like it

Well I found a shop not to far from me that is going to powder coat al those part blue for me. Pretty close to the BMW blue logo. I'll post pics once it's done.

So I don't think anodizing is a good idea. Because the parts are cast the results will be less than desirable. (According to shop) Looking into powder coating instead but not sure it can withstand the heat. May have to simply prime and paint these parts myself which I don't mind.

Hans, I used glass beads on the aluminum and then tried walnut on the steel parts. Preferred the glass.

I like the sound of ceramic coating. I may anodize all these parts blue then ceramic coat. Thanks

I got my hands on a sandblaster unit. Love the results. Going to have all parts anodized before reassembly.

Thanks for the input Peter. I may just put a 5 blade fan in. I like the look of the red fan. If the antifreeze to water ratio is done correctly I don't think the electric fan is necessary but it certainly isn't out of the question. I still have the original radiator that will be going back in the car.

Lol Rock....that's my work shop. Old kitchen counter installed in my garage. Hopefully 2002ad doesn't screw this up Jmon.

Hans, it would never occurred to me to go to Canadian tire for parts. I'd be very surprised if they had anything. I do agree with you however, I am subject to the duty at times. I used to buy all my 2002 parts in Canada locally 20 years ago but it's just so convenient to have things shipped to my office when I'm traveling so much. Saves me time running around town and more time at home when I'm in town. I'm currently in Vegas so when I get back I should have a bunch of parts waiting for me.

Thanks Nick, I just ordered the ball joints, tie rods and centre rod from 2002AD.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know if the ball joints are the same as the 2002ti? They loom the same when I look online.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Nick. Guess I'll get into that when I get back into town. Order new ball joints.
