BOOT STUFF AND BOOT TIDY BATTERY COVER ?

[polsta]

came across a bit today, its from the boot somewhere, i think its number 10 in this diagram

where does it go ? its a little black plastic square thing with holes and bits in it that look like it slide on something or hold something, i couldnt work it out

[shedrool83]

Over the hook that holds the jack

[polsta]

ah ok, thought it was there somewhere me and hkf were looking earlier but couldnt work it out, how exactly does it fit there ? does it attach to the metal bit before the lever/hook is attached or something ?

[polsta]

ALSO -- i remember a thread a while back about the rear battery cover and the boot tidy , and ways to attach them together to stop the tidy from sliding , anyone remember it or what they used ? theres a hole in the middle of the tidy, but no hole in the top of the battery cover , ive got a few various push/twist clips im pondering, but thought id see if anyone had any other options ?

[pukar]

That was me. ... order up the grey hand screw that secures the toolbox as this fits nicely

[polsta]

I think I've got a better bit than that to use, a black flat topped push turn thing

[pukar]

You're the boss

[polsta]

il see tomorrow , "i think" this is the proper bit for it, as i did get it from bmw and ive not come across it anywhere else on the car, il post pics tomorrow

did you have to drill a hole in your battery cover ?

[polsta]

another thing atul-

on the battery cover part, theres 3 holes on it 2 at bottom one top left corner, for the black push twist lock cllips- are they all the same clip ? the 2 bottom ones fitted good, but the top left one seems like it needs a bigger clip ? the hole is a touch bigger

[polsta]

looking at real oem, im missing a "lock insert"



and 3 of each of these

13 Lock insert 3 09/1986 51711916199

12 Push-button 3 09/1986 51471945266

but also 2 of these ? what are these ? yet it shows them to be in the place where the above go in the 3 holes in the battery cover

11 Lock 2 51471923983


then theres "18" ? 2 more locks ? what are these ?

18 Lock 2 51471872821 $0.66

Just order them alll x 2.

I'm sure you'll be able to fit them somewhere.
