The point with these tyres on your cars is they dont 'BREAK' they gentley start to move under neath you as the contact point rolls around the shoulder of the tyre as the car leans.

 

A modern tyre on an old car breaks loose. ( see the hightly technical diagram attached.)

 

this is another example of progressive handling is when you have next to no grip and a sold bar of steel for a back axle driven by chains instead of one of those sissy differential thingies.

Good to know! Maybe I'll get one of them instead. I'm a little worried about the lower CCA for winter and if I add AC along with the ECU and EFI.

I have 2 Braille AGM 2015 batteries I purchased to go in the rear seat space I won't be using if you are interested.

I think you need this part number 32311152052 if those are NLA then I think a m8 x 47mm screw would be my go to the original bolt seat is counter sunk if I recall.

Trying to determine in my mind if the absence of the tamper resistant bolt makes it less likely to be stolen. 

What do people use after they remove the fracture bolts in the ignition? It is part number 32322782105, but NLA. My understanding is that it is a security measure. Considering just using an appropriate length bolt in its place.

Thanks,

Installed the grills on my car. First time the exterior is looking complete since i took her apart 2.5 years ago. 

Looking good! I can relate to "...when I took it apart...". I bought a project, realized I was in over my head, so I sold the main components and bought a relatively sorted 72 2002...and immediately proceeded to start taking things apart. Think I am going to limit myself to stuff I can get done in the next few days. Treat it like a daily driver.

Have you considered a compromise on rim diameter by using a 14 x 6 (6 1/2?) basketweave from an E30?  Proper offset, easy to find, not terribly expensive and period looking.

Aren't 14 inch tire options limited?

Looks like you still need to connect the braided vacuum hose to the booster (red cap location).

Thank you for the reminder.

That make sense, I have side drafts.

Reviving an old thread. What goes through the orange rubber grommet in this picture?

Thanks,

Norrinradd and Man_Mark_7: How effective has the crankcase breather filter been? Messy?

Here's how it looks today....

 

I may have one but will be a week till I can check

Wait a minute, I've talked to you about this. I saw it at the 2002 meet in Seattle. It's the bottom of a newer BMW, correct? Oil gulley or something like that?

I've been running my 45dcoes for decades. I've done the foam sock airfilters and finally built a custom airbox around a datsun 240z air filter element. 1st version used short stacks and the latest uses larger stacks with a different cover. The latest one and the longer stacks have worked out really well.  The longer stacks make a little more torque lower down.

That looks great, what did you use to make it?

FWIW, that’s really not a correct bellmouth shape and the foam ‘filtration’ looks too thin… Plus most 40s are slot-in, do they come with the needed inserts?

 

They do not come with the inserts or gaskets

I hate this site. I had a few minutes to waste, so went browsing. Oh, I have side-drafts, lets take a look at this post. minutes later, my credit card has been assaulted and a set of the stacks are headed my way. Damn it!

Yup, should be fine.  I can send over a bunch of install photos if you'd find them helpful.

If you can send a few I would appreciate it

Thanks all!

I have a 72 2002 and replaced the standard brake booster w. a Tii brake booster. The master cylinder is the standard master cylinder. Installing new brake lines with an IE cunifer set. Reviewed RealOEM for both Tii and 2002 for a 72 and the attachment points are different from the repair manual.

1. Can the attachment points #1 and #3 be switched? 

2. Can the attachment points #4 and #5 be switched?

Diagrams look like #1-#3 are one circuit, and #4-#5 are a separate circuit and thus can be switched within their respective groups. 

Repair Manual:

RealOEM 2002Tii 1972 Brake Pipes Front, (same as the RealOEM 2002):

Is this what you are looking for?

Stupid question of the day. What is the hole with the arrow on the front of the carb for? I have an airbox custom made by the previous owner that I am going to switch to Corsavelocita adjustable velocity stack air filters. 

Reason I ask is that the airbox I have now filters any air going into that orifice. With the velocity stack filters, that hole remains unfiltered. Do I need a filter of some sort over this? Guessing no as it is uncovered in the advert for the product but wanted to verify.

Thanks,

Dennis
