[Low Rider]

Any ideas as to cost

Did you get the one from Scotland mate

 

[Low Rider]

No mate. Tewkesbury
A really bargain. I'm so pleased with it and best of it was give loads of other items for free. Tomorrow job is fittng the fixing kit.

Get your pal to drop it off dude, I'll do it for you

And I would be happy for you to do it as I've seen the quality of your work but if I knew there was going to be another two deliveries I would but I can't see it if I'm honest.

There was just a few posts about this very thing and I forget who had ordered a set but @t-tony was involved as I also need a set and not available here so hoping someone can pick me a set and post them to me. They were £7 I believe. I can use just bolts but these remain in the holes so I won't be trying to figure out what they are for as they bounce around in my glove box and guaranteed they will disappear in a matter of weeks!

They are supposed to do that.

Jim meant
He can use just normal bolts but the BMW's ones would be captivate and will remain in the holes

Thank's @Low Rider, get it now....

I use standard M8 allen pins in mine. If I loose them they are about £7 per 100 rather than £7 for 2.

I would've if I'd ever got mine repaired and fitted. The only difference is the original ones have the "O" ring which keeps it in place and seals against water ingress.

the only reason these stay in place is they have a rubber o-ring around them but as you will only be removing it once a year i would just use allen bolts.

Never had a problem with water ingress and have been in some torrential downpours in mine. I can see your point though

That's what the "O" ring is for but I wouldn't have bothered either Garry, I doubt it really matters.

I asked Sopers just before Zedfest and they said that at that time BMW had 37 in stock. I thought someone was going to order a pair for Oldcarman.
I would check again but am off to Italy at 6 O'clock in the morning.
