    The decision has been made. Apple hydraulics is 1 hour from my home and they will rebuild mine. I want to keep as close to stock where ever possible. Unlike just about every vehicle I have owned, this one shall remain unmolested. With about 12k miles (4k from me) on a 48 year old car, this one will be preserved for the the guy my son sells it to when I'm gone Thanks to the group for posts and messages.

    Hey Rick, I looked at exploded diagrams on Mobile Tradition website and they look the same, but the difference in part # bothers me. My 34311120478 is a direct fit for other models as are numbers it superceded. Have you actually installed a US spec MC in a Euro car? I would have thought the parts data base would have shown compatibility. Thanks, Bruce

    Thanks to all who responded. Vendors that could supply a replacement wanted $900 to over $1,000. WTF'nF! Apple Hydraulics is only an hour from me and will rebuild it for $285.

    Has anyone got a lead on a master cylinder (BMW/Ate #34311120478) for my 1975 E12 520i? I believe that was used on several models back then. Also found a cross reference to Raybestos MC39182. Can anyone verify that it does fit? Most vendors are out of stock on both or are asking more $$$ than the first 4 cars I owned combined Thanks, Bruce

    Thanks for responding. Have already done: new fuel filter warm up regulator (I think that's the tuna can) is functioning found no play in distributor shaft or linkage (10K miles since new) pulls strong vacuum (one of my first thoughts) after I fooled with a few hoses From what I gather mechanical advance alone does not have have much of a curve. I was thinking of a programmable distributor, either PerTronix or 123Ignition. Any recommendations?

    Can’t set ignition timing I know it's not a 2002, but I figured this is the largest knowledge base I could find. I have a ’75 Euro 520i with KF injected 2 liter M10, mechanical advance only on distributor. Under light acceleration or at steady speed, there is a slight bucking or surging. Since owning, I have replaced points, plugs, condenser, rotor, cap and wires. Marty from H&R checked out the injection pump and made some adjustments. It runs much better than when I got it. He said it is still running a bit rich and suggested a rebuild. Before I go that route, I want to exhaust all other possibilities. Problem is that I have only been able to set the ignition timing by feel. I believe the marks (either ball on flywheel or notch on front pulley) should line up at 2500 rpm. There is no way to hold a steady rpm; it just wanders up and down. My question to you folks with more experience is: could there be a problem with the distributor advance (the plate with the points on it snaps right back when I rotate it and let it go and I wouldn’t know what else to do) or should I have the KF pump rebuilt (the 2500 rpm spec is right in the middle of the range where surging occurs). Thanks for any advice you can give me. Bruce

    Hey Gang, I know this is a really old thread, but maybe someone has some current info. Just bought a 75 Euro 520i with Kugelfischer 4 cylinder. Hoping to find someone that can share the manual and video from the now apparently defunct TII Register. Thanks, Bruce oo=00=oo
