Dan can you PM me your paypal bits please, theres too many e36 racks in my local scrappy to not try it for the pina touring.

Will it be a limited run? because if it works i'll do this to my 2dr also later down the line

[DanThe]

Wont be limited but I will have to order in batches to get the price right as the material has to be ordered in specially

pm on its way

[feens]

Dan will this work on a Z3 Rack with an s50 Conversion??
Brian

[DanThe]

Yes, will fit in the same way. Dont ask me about clearances as it will depend on mounts/manifolds used etc
What I can tell you is it will be the thinnest steering linkage available without welding and made from proper material

which will have to give a good chance for most conversions!

[feens]

Sound Cheers ill chat to the guy doing the conversion for me and see what he thinks about manifold clearences ill be using e28 m5 mounts

[DanThe]

E28 mounts are expensive and considering the weight of an S50 not very good, they are just about good enough for an M50 IMO, I would either use poly or the US ones (cant remember name now)

[irish320i]

Hi Dan any progress on these at the moment

I collected the test piece yesterday, hoping to get it fitted over the weekend, should be fine as there is plenty of adjustment but its nice to check

No idea on which poly mounts nickso

[DanThe]

Got the tester fitted yesterday





A bit more re-designing and I reckon I can get enough adjustment on it to fit both E30 and E36 racks which will be a bonus for all involved

[tomson]

looks good Dan. Is it too late to get another one?

[DanThe]

Not at all

[tomson]

Cracking, I'll sort you a gift out in the morning

[hammoj28]

Looking good Dan. Would be hand having one that fits all regarding the e36 or e30 rack.

[DanThe]

Yep, dropped the drawing off this afternoon and will be having another test piece made to check it out

[goosiegander]

Looks the buisness Dan, Crack on!

[stonesie]

Is there time for another on the list?

[DanThe]

You can order as many as you want, there is not a limit on these just a minimum order which has been reached already

Will be chasing up tomorrow

[cplagz]

What sort of timeframe are we looking at one of these? I'm chasing something ASAP to be able to clear a 3" down pipe

[DanThe]

You can have the first tester if your in a rush, it will fit an E36 rack as you have seen.

Should have had the next test piece today, will be on the phone again tomorrow and hoping to fit it at the weekend

[gcs325i]

How many splines does the part have and what diameter is it?

[DanThe]

No idea, never counted! Its the same spline as a PAS rack
