Solid steering guibos £35 - 1 LEFT

[Theo]

I'll be placing an order with the water jet cutters later this week, if anyone wants one then I can increase my order. Payment will be needed this week.

These are ideal for engine conversions due to the smaller diameter of the alloy guibo compared to the BMW rubber part and it's heatshield. They also remove one of the causes of slop/play in the steering, I've had one fitted to my car for several trackdays and a trip to the Ring and would definitely recommed them.

[winx]

please add me to the list! pm me your payment details and will get you the money this week.

Thanks
Henry

How difficult is this to change on an m3?

How difficult is this to change on an m3?

not a big drama.

It's a matter of grinding the rivet heads off on the rubber guibo, tapping out the remains of the rivet and the fitting the new guibo with the specific nuts and washers from BMW.

I can provide the two parts of the steering coupling with the rubber guibo removed for an additional £15 - you just need to buy the bolts and fit them.

Theo,
I'll have one too if I'm not too late...
PM me your payment details.

[mccarthy]

[Theo]

I'm afraid they're all gone, but if there are five people who want one I can make another order.

[cliffybabe]

i havent used mine if ur after one, I refitted a rubber one last time round

[Jhonno]

Neil, I am surprised at you!! You should have polished it and fitted it!!

[juniorGT]

will these fit a 318is ? and any left?

[Theo]

They will fit any e30, but there aren't any left. I can order some more if there are a few people interested. (3 or more)

How much delivered to Ireland if you get a new batch?

[Theo]

Hi Gussy, an extra £2.50 should cover the additional postage cost to Ireland.

[juniorGT]

hi mate i want one of these, let me know if you have got some in stock? as i can pay by paypal

[Quaser]

Hi Theo

is this also the part which fouls the btb 6 branch with e36 rack?

Can it be modifed to fit without fouling?

Q

[Theo]

I'm not certain Quaser, I'd imagine the shield on the standard rubber bush is the part which fouls but I couldn't be sure.

[juniorGT]

im 100% wanting one of these mate, as my steering is way to vague/sloppy, so hopfully we could get more people wanting some so we could get another batch made

[kam325itouring]

Im up for one of these my one is on its way out, again my steering is quite sloppy, let me know when the batch is ready??

[steve955i]

Likewise Theo - keep me posted please..........

[lm11]

Am deinately interested also. PM me when the batch is ready. Can pay using paypal..

Luke

[Theo]

I need payment in advance chaps so that I don't get stuck with a load of guibos and no money!

Paypal address is theosprog@hotmail.com - if you want to pay through a different method PM me for details.

Cheers,

Theo

[juniorGT]

hi theo, im about to pay via paypal, can you please tell me how much the postage costs are? or is that £35 including the postage

thanks

[Theo]

Postage within mainland UK is included in that price.

[mt1104]

how much are the nuts and bolts?

[Theo]

From BMW they are about £9 from memory. In reality any M8 bolt with a washer and locknut would suffice, you pay a premium for the BMW parts as they are a specifically shaped/designed to replace the rivets found in the rubber guibo and as such are quite expensive.

[juniorGT]

Postage within mainland UK is included in that price.

excellent im based in kent aswel ;) i have just paid £35 into your paypal account.

look farwad to receving ;)

[Theo]

Nice one. I did see a tidy white 318is driving through the North Farm industrial estate in Tunbridge Wells yesterday - was it you?

2 people have paid, another one and I will make the order.

[juniorGT]

lol that was me dude.. she a progressing track car ;)

you live in tunny wells?

[mt1104]

seriously tempted by this but costs are going up and up lol, anyone done this before and knows how hard it is to remove the original rubber?

[oldroydsr4]

^^

Its not a bad job

however i did mine without an engine in the car

[mt1104]

yea will have the engine out, tis why I'm thinking best to do these things when its out...

[Theo]

It's really only a few minutes work, undo the two 13mm pinch bolts from the steering linkage, remove the 15mm nut and bolt holding the o/s of the steering rack. Push the rack towards the front of the car and the steering linkage can then be removed. Now just grind the flares off the four rivets holding the rubber guibo in place and they then you can tap/drift them out. Separate the two parts of the steering linkage and fit the the alloy guibo with the four bolts and locknuts with washers. Eliminates any play, increases clearance to the exhaust manifold and will never need touching again as it will not wear.

[Theo]

Right I have payments from Junior GT, LM11, gsc325i and mt1104. Does anyone else want one? Quaser? Gussy? steve955i? kam325itouring? mccarthy?
