yeah going sideways, and it ripped all the coolant hoses off, and to strap it down and drive 100 miles to get home, not fun lol

try your local breakers or PM Spadge or Shaz325isport and some other members who may be close to you. One of them should help you out

Just out of interest, what makes you think you need uprated ones? Wasn't probably the best part of 20 years service from the last set sufficient?

There's a guy on trampdrfift who makes polyeurethane ones for about £5 a set that are good if you like a bit of "tail out" action without the worry of stuffing your fan through your radiator :wink:

New BMW ones now come with a steel cup around them, to stop the rubber block from excess sideways movement.
