was Lee's extra long spanner i used that snapped the LAST stud resulting in a full removal repair and refit,along with the 40 min return drive to mine for the replacement prop stud.

you need more spares dez you caant !

[Dezzy]

Ha ha we all can't have a frag yard outside Mick.

You were a gent that day mate, hungover, went fir a stud and even donated a loom cover!

Them powersteering pipes are yours anytime you want to collect them mate.

[magpie]

that'll be the fastest loom cover i've ever owned when you get the fooker running

[magpie]

[magpie]

got the conversion home after an 8 hr drive,i took the middle seats out the ppl carrier as the rear ones fold out of the way.love this bus




picked a valance up for vendetta while i was there.

think i'll start on it after the teeside park meet on 17th this month.

[Alex]

so its teesside park then

cant wait too see this done mick

[Dezzy]

8 hours Mick? Where the fook did you go for it?

[leeparkes]

Got home ok then Mick

Its about 15miles west of Birmingham Dez

[Dezzy]

I see Lee.

I did Middlesbrough to Cannock in 2.5 hours but Mick is 45mins further up than me.

Anyway well done Mick. Looking forward to progress.

[Rav335uk]

Mick, will this be ready before Dezzys

[magpie]

yeah lee got back all good,nothing moved in the back and all went well



i look forward to this one.

[E30BeemerLad]

How soon until you start getting stuck in then marra?

[magpie]

i need some engine mounts first, Lee-P said to use e21 rubber mounts.m20 mounts had been used and they looked wrong.
how much are e21 mounts?

[leeparkes]

I think its E28 mounts needed Mick

[Dezzy]

You want E35 M5 mounts or 635 mount are the best. I got mine from pelican parts $9 each.

[magpie]

glad i asked now.

any of you 24v merchants got any or know the price?

[magpie]

you'll do for me Dezzy

[bigredbmw]

mick the old escort is my m8s dad's ..... was it next to the hospital in shields

[magpie]

that's where it used to live.[harton moore]

[bigredbmw]

iiiii its me m8 ray's dads car

[magpie]

i took a few pics of the box a tricks that came with the conversion.

it's an m20 box with modified parts to make it work with the m50 alien

in no order,

Golf brake servo & master cylinder



new intake pipe needed,now this is all a bit alien to me and what i've read up on?


it has a sensor off the loom to do with afm that goes through the head light backing plate? no pics of that part as it's on the loom.,


shift linkage,sits in the middle.


tunnel carrier,



will this bit be any good with the e36 rack i'm going to do?


the zaust manifolds are going to need a haircut, ground i have no reference to

[Dezzy]

Linkages look about reet mate.

Get the lump in, fit the manifolds and the fit the linkage. Well try too. Then you will have a better idea what needs doing.

[magpie]

a bit of trial and error,bash fixed.

i hate things that drag out.

[E30BeemerLad]

Mick, you need an M50 525i inlet boot (it's what I'm using)

That gear linkage looks interesting, but it it works..... An alternative would be to use an M42 box, 325 prop and 320 gear selector setup for a plug & play solution that is original.

Put a pic of that sensor on the loom you are on about, I can't think what that will be.

[e30topless]

Mick have you got a zaust for the turd?

[Dezzy]

I would be tempted to use your box prop and diff actually Mick. That's Lee's set up.
I have the front half of a 325 prop here if it's needed and all you would need is a 320 leaver bracket ftw
