I have lost the rocker shaft retaining plate and I'm struggling to get hold of a replacement.
Would someone be kind enough to share the dimensions of the part please.
Im in the middle of a 2.9L stroker build. Cheers

Or if anyone could provide the dimensions of the part, it would be really appreciated.

Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks

Problem solved :D After rechecking the caliper, hoses etc I took the car for a drive sure enough the caliper stuck on and could barely move for some reason I decided to lift the brake pedal with my foot as soon as I did the brake released, so after some slight pedal adjustment its been great car fee...

Guide pins are in good condition and operating smoothly. No ABS. Ok yeah I think its best I try a different caliper first, would be unfortunate if its the new master. I was thinking would it effect both front calipers if it was in fact the master? Thanks Brian

Left front caliper keeps getting stuck on hard but is intermittent. Recently finished rebuilding the car which included new master cylinder and flex lines. I've stripped/cleaned/greased the caliper which hasn't helped, I can push the piston in by hand. Usually by the time ive got home and got the wh...

While making repairs I destroyed the panel thinking I would be able to get the replacement panel from bmw, have been informed the part is no longer available :( So i'm in a bit of a pickle. Does anyone know if there's any company's that supply this panel? Or has anyone got a e30 that there breaking ...

When stripping my car for restoration a few of these studs broke off while removing the plastic nuts. Was just wondering what people have done to replace these?? do bmw sell the studs to weld etc?? or is there somewhere else that do them?

Im also very interested in doing this im currently doing a 120 mile commute a day but for obvious reasons im not using my 2.5 e30 but I would like to start to use it again , let us know how you get on. Im also in north devon too

If you have to sort out rust in the usual places then your looking at at least the same as the budget you have to buy the car. Arches to replace the outer and repare nastyness insde is £500 as side painted. Probs the same for sills. A wing replaced would be £300 at a guess as bmw wings are £150 i t...

well done on getting it started

Did you put that waterpump in that I gave you??

Sounds like the exhaust to me mine sounds similar, Im missing the bracket that connects to the gearbox tho.

Am I right in thinking the calipers are the same but the carriers are different??

Very helpfull in my quest to find some brackets for me, Easy to contact. Great Service

Ive got a head I rebuilt not long ago been used for about 3000miles, had new cam, lifters, spray bar, rockers etc. let us know if your interested.

Picture when Built.

Cheers tom, yeah been running for a while now 1500 miles and no major problems

Hows that m5 doing??

Looks nice! any plans for mods etc??

Looks very nice, interesting choice with the wheels, do they ride well ?? Liked the thread about the engine build, (Looking at the parts though, is that the right sort of cat for that 2.5 engine ??) Keep the pictures coming, :D Cheers, yeah the wheels ride fine one of them had to have a fair amount...

Great stuff. Nice understated with beasty 6 under the bonnet. The steels are much cooler than bling. HOW GOOD is the scenery? Where is Lynmouth? What exhaust are you using? Cheers xavier Lynmouth is on the north Devon coast. The exhaust is a scorpion system would of preferred a genuine bmw system b...

Cheers bud!

so how you finding the m20.whats your fav thing about the 2.5. Really enjoying it, I like the way it keeps pulling up high in the rev range, great fun leaving it in 3rd/4th in the twisties. I was expecting it to be really crap on fuel but its better than the m40 1.8 I had in there for sure and that...

Yeah they are, there original e30 steelies banded to 8". Im thinking about getting another pair done to 9" or 9.5" for the rear.

Ive recently finished converting my e30 from a 1.8 to a 2.5 and decided take it out on some nice roads lynmouth upto porlock hill.

Im currently doing a engine conversion to my 1988 e30, 1.8i to a 2.5 does it matter if I order a 3 piece system or 2 piece system??

I understand what your saying the problem ive got is that ive got a t shape icv and also the vacuum pipes going to the brake servo has the y shaped joint that goes into the boot. So looks like im going to have to use the one way valve from my 4 pot. As you can proberley guess im converting to a m20b...

Cheers chaps, yeah its the air intake to thottle body. There seems to be a few part numbers for the boot just want to make sure I order the correct one.

Could someone with a t shape icv mind giving me the part number for your boot, or the year and month of there car. Thanks

How its going to look maybe not quite as low lol.

The car is a 318i facelift, but im converting it to a 325i the engine is a early h/c one but using later loom/ecu.
