2fifty metalwork needed please
« on: October 15, 2019, 08:48:53 AM »
Having started a new conversion I've discovered that I'm missing various bits and pieces from the kit that I bought.

Whilst this isn't a disaster it is a bit of a set back as I'd rather not go about having to make bits that have already been made and may well be out there already so...

The photo below is from my build diary and shows all of the brackets and fiddly things that I have. I know that I'm missing the door latch plates and all of the headlamp metalwork. The problem is that I don't know what else I'm missing.

If anyone has or can point me at a source of the door latches and headlamp fittings I would be very grateful. If you can also look over the photo and let me know if I'm missing anything else (I've got the bumper sections) then that too would be very helpful.

Thanks in anticipation
Russell

WOW, you have quite a bit more than me.

I guess that all of these are earmarked for a project?

I've run through the build video again and identified the following missing components

1. Glue turntables (I have 1 I need another 3)
2. Door latch plates (but I have something different...)
3. Fuel filler bracket
4. wiper motor bracket
5. Headlamp brackets
6. Boot release bracket
7. Bonnet release fixing bracket

Do you have any spare bits or can you point me at where to source them?

Which wiper motor is used? Is it the original BMW one or is there an alternative and, importantly, how does it attach to the wiper motor bracket, or is that also part of the full kit?

Cheers
Russell

From your photo's I've also identified some things which I didn't spot in the build video and which I don't seem to have, I wonder if you can tell me what they are for?
