I had a replacement set sent and they fit the same. The bitch clip fits nice and snug in them but I thought they would fit tight in the spot on the trans and tight into the carrier __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 04-28-2015, 11:23 AM | #228 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: UK, Kent Posts: 206 | Quote: Originally Posted by Earl Mine seemed to be super loose compared to how I thought they would fit.

They use delrin to make solid subframe bushings and other suspension bushings too. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 05-05-2015, 11:03 AM | #230 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: UK, Kent Posts: 206 | __________________ Follow me on Instagram @Mike_Wooding Last edited by minimike; 05-05-2015 at 11:15 AM. | | | 05-11-2015, 02:12 PM | #231 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: UK, Kent Posts: 206 | __________________ Follow me on Instagram @Mike_Wooding Last edited by minimike; 05-11-2015 at 02:29 PM. | | | 05-11-2015, 05:21 PM | #232 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | Very nice progress. | | | 05-12-2015, 10:22 AM | #233 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: UK, Kent Posts: 206 | Quote: Originally Posted by M-technik-3 Very nice progress. | Thanks Also got bored last night and thought I would try and make a battery tray to practice welding it's not perfect by any means but I'm quite proud of how it turned out __________________ Follow me on Instagram @Mike_Wooding Last edited by minimike; 05-12-2015 at 10:54 AM. | | | 05-13-2015, 03:03 PM | #234 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: UK, Kent Posts: 206 | __________________ Follow me on Instagram @Mike_Wooding Last edited by minimike; 05-13-2015 at 03:08 PM. | | | 05-18-2015, 09:26 AM | #235 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: UK, Kent Posts: 206 | __________________ Follow me on Instagram @Mike_Wooding Last edited by minimike; 05-18-2015 at 09:33 AM. | | | 05-22-2015, 10:19 AM | #236 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: UK, Kent Posts: 206 | Mike's e36 Compact Build Thread __________________ Follow me on Instagram @Mike_Wooding Last edited by minimike; 05-22-2015 at 10:38 AM. | | | 05-22-2015, 11:24 AM | #237 | Member Join Date: Apr 2014 Location: Norway Posts: 61 | Looking good!

The positive cable that came from two relays on the other side of the bay wasn't getting a live from where it was on the positive junction box for some reason so I drilled the little eye ring terminal out and hooked it up with the main battery cable and first turn of the key it fired straight up! Then I had to try and bleed the rad out… I never thought it was be such a hard task lol! I got the front as high as possible and ran it up to temp and after a couple of hours of messing around it finally bled out and the heaters were blowing hot air. Oh and my electric Fan controller worked perfectly the fan kicks in when I need it too, But I need to rewire it to a switched Live and it stays on far too long after I turned it off lol. Got it back on the ground last night and drove it outside, the clutch still needs bleeding out some more I think but it feels great! Developed another issue with the steering column though, the steering wheel moves up and down for some reason there it a lot of play in it, need to have a better look as to why it’s doing it. Now all that’s really left to do is get an exhaust made, Bolt the battery down and make that look tidy then MOT and Tax £££ Its not far from seeing the road again though I don’t think Oh I also changed my fuel filter after laying underneath and seeing the state of it! __________________ Follow me on Instagram @Mike_Wooding Last edited by minimike; 05-27-2015 at 10:22 AM. | | | 05-27-2015, 10:28 AM | #239 | Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: uk Posts: 33 | That's a lovely colour that , what route are you going to go with your exhaust?
