Petrol flap gaitor from the dealers, try a post in the Cotswolds BMW section.
Clutch master cylinder, perhaps Euro car parts, GSF, local motor factor.
Of course they will need to know year and model.......

There is very little that is NLA.
And if enough people ask their dealer,there is a very real chance that parts will be re-manufactured...we have seen this already with front indicator glass,front wings,brake back plates,etc.
Snag is,as these production runs are very much smaller than the original orders 30 years ago,the price does tend to rise somewhat...but at least the bits can be bought!

The front wings are just stickered up pattern parts, BMW approved NOT BMW manufactured!
Didn't know the indicator lense had been NLA, not long bought some chromie front indicator housings and my god brand new lenses look so much darker!

Gator (rubber boot) pt no. B51.71.884.358 £17.89. When mine arrived I queried the part and found 3 boots pushed together! The dealer noticed and retained 2! (could have sold them here cheap and covered my cost!)

I think the Sidler ones are darker than the ULO ones. I bought some off a zoner a few weeks back, and they're much darker than mine, but I think mine are ULO and the ones I received are Sidler. Might be the other way round though.
