Small update;
As I am using a m20 flywheel instead of the original dual mass. You either need a e21 323 release bearing or modify the original. I didn't like either ideas....
E21 bearing hard to come by and expensive from BMW.
I don't intend to have to change the clutch again but if I do I don't want to have to weld the bearing every time.
So my solution. Using 2 forks I added 5mm to the height. Took lots of measuring and re measuring to get it perfect...
Pleased with the results
Gearbox is now fitted with new seals. New slave cylinder. New prop coupling. New mounts
Plus new z3m selector and new bushes... Feels really nice and sharp
And finally...
My manifold arrived from Dan. I have seen photos of these and heard they are good quality. However after seeing them in person I have realised the photos do no justice. These manifolds literally are a work of art. I was going to do the manifolds myself but would of taken hours(which I don't have). I am so glad I got Dan to do them. I would not be able to get them close to the job he is done. Cheers Dan
Tomorrow my car is getting moved to my work ready for engine coming out on Monday.
