😂 yes, yes. all the things.

Yep - tried there in the very beginning. - no joy on the shipping.

For posterity and future searchers: The combo of 7/8" Loxx TENAX fastener and 10mm spacer (4.2mm ID) replicates the function of the original BMW kit.

I DID find them - quite a pretty penny, but could only purchase the longer TENAX in chrome. so - ** I AM interested in those. hahahaa... Can you ship across the pond? - feel free to PM me for deets.

Paint Correction and (2) clear Euro sidemarker lights (bumper)

I ordered Loxx Tenax 5/8" and (chrome black) and 7/8" (only in chrome) screws. I was not confident the 5/8" would be long enough. I also ordered an assortment of plastic spacers (4.2mm ID, 7mm OD, 8mm long). I am in for $70US... crazy. I'll get back to this in 3 weeks or so, and if I get...

Mods - feel free to combine this thread with other Loxx Tenax fastener searches. - apologies... in my ignorance, I didn't even know what to search for. I'll update when I find something definitive. It seems German Loxx fasteners are the same as used in Guitar "strap-lock" systems... so there...

Thank you! Can't find them anywhere that will ship to me, but - for those still looking for this conversion kit: The Wind Deflector "Rubber" grommet is 7.35mm thick. Once the Roadster is back from paint correction (woo!) today, I'll measure the existing Tenax stud to see how long it needs...

In the realoem.com pic, you see the standard RS-11 ball pin. Does anyone know the name, part number or dimensions for the extended ball pin (which accommodates both the windscreen under and the Tonneau snap on top)? n

The fact that they don't have one helped me weed out a shop that was insistent that I needed mine changed - and submitted it as a part of an estimate of work they thought needed to be done. :cool:

yep. With the exception of length, they are, in fact, incredibly close by the numbers! buuuttt... It doesn't look like that. Wheelbase Cayman 95.08 Roadster 96.8 Width Cayman 70.91 Roadster's 68.5 Length Cayman 172.13 Roadster 158.46 I don't have numbers on the Roadster's track width front...

use this guy w/ a pressure washer. Works for all of our cars, but...there are a couple of tight spots under the M Roadster.

Had a good friend move to town with his Pcar... they make a pretty decent pair... despite the roadster's "flexy" tendancies.

I bought "Sterling" in September in the Bay area. - trucked to Nashville. I have done the following since then: -treated all rubber/seals with gummy fledge, warm air, repeat -cleaned the top and sealed it -bought OEM rear "windscreen" and tonneau cover for top-down days -replaced the rear...

Found one. installed. thanks to all who reached out!!
