Did you ever produce any more or would you provide dim's and parts for the project?  It would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Russ

Changing to a limited slip.  Orig is in great shape, working with no issues.  

Please email me with any questions.

Thanks,

Russ

Looking for a good condition Non Sunroof dome light for a 72

Ah, ok.  I didn't see where you were referencing the 4-cyl. small-case version in your initial post.  Generally speaking, most people who ask the question are referencing the more typical medium-case/188mm setup. 

 

In your case, sure thing! It fits in the same mold as using the later 168mm e36 318 guts.  However, the photo you show seems to have a torsen LSD unit, which would not have had clutches (I've actually never seen a small case torsen lsd, so that's pretty neat).  It also appears to have a medium-case housing bolt pattern.

Ace you are right again!  That is a torsen unit, I just wanted to have a picture of a diff for the post.  I should post a picture of an actual Z3 LSD.  Like this one, from eBay showing a z3 lsd with the cover open...

Russ, we typically designate that as one of the "medium case" 188mm differentials.  There are a number of people who have modified the 2002 subframe/axles to make them fit.  One of the more well done versions being the one offered by 2002 Underground.  If you are a handy fabricator, then it's definitely possible on your own.

I thought that also but it turns out the Z3 fits into the small 168 differential found on the 2002's, 320i's, e30's etc.   You are correct if it was for the Z3 6 cylinder cars which use the medium 188 diffs.  The 4 cylinder Z3's however used the smaller ones that should fit.  Dave from Aardvarc has come available with new guts and for grins I think I might try one to see how it performs on a street driver. 

Anyone with experience with the 4 clutch carrier limited slip rear ends in a 2002.

The Z3's were about 2900 lbs with a 96.3 wheelbase and the 4 banger cars ran in the 114 to 148 hp range.

The 02's are a lighter at about 2100 lbs, have a 98.4 wheelbase with fewer ponies.

I'm thinking it's a good fit but would be interested to hear if anyone has tried it.

How’s the heater box?

OK: looks easy just messy.

Step 1.  Remove cap and circlip from ends. "check"

Step 2.  Remove old boots and clean out grease as best you can "check"

Step 3.  Pull cv joints off the end of the shaft. 

Step 4.  Get Hammer and drift and try to beat the cv joints off the shaft.

Step 5. Get BIGGER Hammer and destroy cv joints while taking them off....

What could go wrong.  I searched and found a couple missing links referring to half shaft, or short axle, etc. rebuilds but have come up with zip.

Thanks in advance.

304 stainless steel, same gauge as the original.

Mine looked good till I took it off.

After shedding 5 lbs of rust, it's much lighter now....

Need something without rust.

Standard 2002 non Tii, 1972 short transaxle.

Have you sold the rear sub frame?

Nothing is an exact match so...

OK, going to fab out of stainless or aluminum.

Will use one of the 4 mounting bolt locations as the raised bump, the others will be flat heads.

Need two to replace this:

I see spring perches available for other models that look similar even though they are uppers and for other cars.

if the cap “hat” diameter is the same and they’re not canted or angled to one side they should work.

If there are no replacements available I’ll try those for $11.00 rather than $140 a side for a used control arm that’s needs rehabilitation anyway.

Has this sold?

I see all kinds of replacement sheet metal parts but none of these rear trailing arm spring perches.

The rest of the arms look great, other than dry rotted bushings.

Does anyone know a source or are these a fab it yourself item.

thank you,

Looks like mine was baked like a pizza...

Need one that's not buggered.

Thank you,

Russ

I think the tool was a Hazet 2921 or similar.

Thanks in advance,

Here's some better pictures

Looks like the nose needs to come up in the middle or the hood needs to come down.  On the corners the hood is nearly sitting on the turn signals.

Weird from this low angle.  Each side looks OK but this upper lip looks high, or the nosepiece is low...
