Hey Folks.
Recently just bought a new engine for my e30 as I was sick of the old one. So now I can put on my manual kit I pieced together which has been sitting out of the car for a long time now and I am ever so excited to get it all in over the next few weeks. I have looked up a few resources on the interweb about things you need and should replace. I have spent quite a bit on this whole endeavor and I really only want to replace what is needed, to be frank.
At the risk of sounding daft, where would a good place be to get a new pilot bearing and throw out/thrust bearing? Are they genuine BMW parts that are needed or quite interchangeable/available parts? Also when I bought my tranny etc it had a rubber seal type thing on the bell housing but it was more just a bit of broken rubber I have looked but can't find the answer. Will I need a seal for the bell housing or can it just bolt straight up?
Also I was sold the kit by a real p*#$k and he didn't give me all the parts that was needed. I don't have the rubber bushing bracket the shifter arm sits in which looks like this http://c1552172.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/299307_x800.jpg
Is there anything I can mock up to make this work or would it be best getting the original part because its seems near impossible to find one where I am.
thanks in return for the help guys
