Nice one Mart!Very appreciated, thanks for taking the time to do this. Do you have any more info on the screws that are on the side of the hood as they are different to the bolts from my understanding? As far as I can tell the screws are identical to the ones also used on an e28 BAUR TC1. I'm going ...

Any chance you could confirm? Be good if we can use this thread to get a parts list for possible replacement and demistify the original dimensions etc

I'm also waiting to hear back from Syntner

Certainly quite the rant indeed their Mart! :P :clap: As a joiner I am most certainly grateful for the metric system myself!Also a pet hate when people measure things in cm and not mm...drives me crazy! I wasn't sure what your were referring to in the second part of the measurement, as it would usua...

Oh nice one Mart!

M5 x 0.75? 0.75:What dimension is this?

Cool,I'll give carl a shout.

Let's see what we can un-cover, if you pardon the pun....

Have a good weekend.

Appreciate the link.I've given Syntner a shout, so i'll keep you posted. I'll also give Carl a shout but not sure how to find him on here? I have actually found the perfect black replacements for the snap-on part.I literally just need the appropriate screws that will fit inside.I've also just ordere...

I'm in London, Brutus is the guy in Tottenham right?Saul?

Thanks for the info Mart. I had a feeling they would be M5, but thats confusing as the ones that are in there are at the moment are M4, so I'm not sure how they're actually holding! I also found this part on ebay, which is meant to be a genuine screw, and it's a 3.5 x 16....?! :mad: Screenshot 2024-...

I have taken out the screws I need and measured them up. There are three different types that are needed. Wierdly the first flat head screw has a thread which is 4.7mm, thisdefinetly can't be correct as it's not a metric size.I'm assuming this screw should be an M4 like the others. The challenge is ...

Hey all, I'm currently having my brain bent into shapes that's it's not designed for trying to find the dimensions of the screws for the original roof fitting kit for the BAUR E30 TC2. :mad: I have the roof on and all is good,however it turns out that the screws that are in place are not the origina...

Hey Zoners! I have a Front Lip/Valance for Sale that is still in original packaging. I thought I'd offer it up to Zoners before flinging it on fleabay. The lip is for a post-facelift E30.I have a pre-facelift hence the sale as I have no use for it. IMG_6651.JPG It is the same as the one in this link...

Just to chime in, the timing mark on the distributor itself should actually be alligned to the 'Z' timing mark on crank pulley, not the '0' mark. The 'Z' stands for 'zeit' which is German for 'time' and is marked on the pulley at the appropriate 22 degrees of advance and so this is what should be us...

Wadda 'C U Next Tuesday'.

Thanks Paul, I was indeed planning to use enamel and VHT paints for bit's on engine etc.I was thinking about whether any one had any recommendations of paint's/colours for the air intake box (MAF) that would maintain an OEM look.Also not sure about best way to deal with intake manifold, I would like...

I am looking to give everything inside the engine bay a bit of a makeover and was wondering if anyone had any specific tips and suggestions for paints.I'd be particularly interested in suggestions for a decent colour match for the black/dark grey on the airbox etc Also unsure if to paint the air int...

I managed to get one from these guys in Denmark when mine snapped!

It was the only place I could get a RHD one after A LOT of searching, which is kind of crazy

Here's the data for all Bosch injectors incase it's useful:

https://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/InjectorRatesBosch.html

Thanks for the info,I actually have a Bentley manual but haven't checked it as it being American it has no info on the 320 as it basically didn't exist stateside. I heard back from Schmeidmann today and unfortunately they actually only have one injector in stock. Restoration definitely seems the way...

Yeah Blanca there's lots of cheap Bosch Injectors about, but you must remember that all injectors have very different specs specific to the vehicle, you can't just throw any injector in there,sure it'll work but you'll probably be burning way more fuel than you need or underfueling, either scenario ...

Leaking injectors are easily diagnosed. Connect a fuel pressure gauge, Start the engine and switch it off. Clamp the fuel feed and return lines. See how long pressure is maintained. Repeat with just the supply line clamped and just the return line clamped to check for other leakage. Good shout Bria...

That's exactly the same issue I currently have, troubles hot starting and ever so slightly bumpy idle which having gone through everything else I'm sure is leaky injector(s).I'm hoping I have as much success as yourself with replacing them.I'm pretty certain that theres many cheap Bosch variants tha...

Thats what I'm thinking.Reason I'm, replacing/restoring is I'm pretty certain I've got a leaky one and they ain't really looking in great shape...which is not really suprsing as I'm sure their the 36 old originals! I really don't want to fork out for the only OEM's I can find for £120 per injector t...

Sorted it.Ply backed with gaffa on both sides...should be alright for a couple of weeks hopefully....

Thanks Grepot, Injectortune was actually going to be my destination of choice should I go down the refurb route.I'm waiting on Schmeidmann in Denmark to get back to me about replacement suitability

That's somewhat reassuring! Plan is gaffa backed ply bolted on in that case.Sounds ok to me... One of the reasons I also can't put the manifold back on sharpish is that I was half asleep and quickly just gave the manifold port gasket part a quick (v light) sanding and forgot to clog the ports...now ...

I wouldn't trust that to last on a greasy engine on it's own I don' t think...I might use it for the backside of the ply though, would behave like a gasket....good shout.

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for protecting the inlet ports on my engine from possible water ingress while it has to sit outside. I've had to take the manifold off and it needs a good clean which I can't do before I have to leave town for a while so I need to cover the intake ports in...

I'll have a peep, thanks twenty

I'm finally getting stuck into getting my injectors on my 320i 84' BAUR sorted, something I've been putting off for a while now. Today pulled the fuel rail and Injectors and then realised the O-Rings and Pintal caps were stuck in the manifold opening, attempting to get them out would have been almos...

Soooo.....today I've finally managed to work out what that bloody noise was.....turns out it's the indicator relay of all things.Makes a whiney sound when it's kind flicking really quickly between on and off.Mystery solved.

a Motronic 1.3 system sympatheticaly plumbed in its place. An extremely good idea! Wolfman's last but one post is exactly how I think of the early E30 engine management systems. This is mine :D exactly how it was parked up 22 years ago. I really don't fancy having a fight with it again. The idea wi...

I did this to my car, and it also seems to have fixed my high idle. I had an idle around 1200-1500rpm, not it's around 800 when warm. Thank you! Hi Detroit, Glad this was of help to you and you managed to sort your idle out.Quite interesting though that you also had the angled port and grey cap whi...

Hi All, Been a while.Hope all you Zoners are good and keeping virus free. I had a chance to have a tinker about today trying to sort out the persistent creakin’ and squeakin’ going on in the cabin,which was quite frankly driving me a bit bananas! :mad: The source of the somewhat grating sonics was d...

I would suggest fitting new foam, your car will sound better and it will stop the risk of cooking the paint on your bonnet....

Cheer's Mart!

Gotta say it was actually relatively easy with the white spirit,just let it sit for a minute and soak in then scrrraaaaaape that muck off!Finish with some big wipes....works a treat.
