NLA?? help me improvise

[NeedaE30]

So at the moment my Gauge cluster is free balling it around in my dash board. with nothing mounting it in place, no trim covers nothing.. just straight up ugly

So i called my local bmw dealership, Both of them actually and yea none of the mounting screws for the gauge cluster or trim pieces are available, i just recently fried my previous gauge cluster by trying to mount it with unacceptable screws that sure enough screwed right into the SI board so i am trying to avoid that.. anyone know of a place that sells all the proper mounting screws for the cluster and trim pieces?. or have any suggestions as to what sizes i need for each mount point? thanks in advance bros

Found it funny that i was told Spark plug wires were NLA as well.. wtf lol

Why not buy from a part-out or jy? Can't cost more than $15 or so for the trim pieces.

you can still find the sizes of the screws I'm pretty sure from the parts list. just find a similar screw from a hardware store.

I'd recommend Bremi plug wires for stock replacements.

Man, If only e30's existed in junk yards around me, But they are like some mythical beast, Every time i call a local junk yard and ask about late 80's early 90's bmw's i immediately get told no and practically hung up on(I'm not exaggerating!) , taking rides to junk yards barely ever results in finding bmw's and if i do find a bmw its usually a completely stripped e36 vert or some late model 5 series blah. part outs, meh no luck with those either.

gonna have to find the sizes and get them from a hardware store i imagine.

Try the two yards in Billerica Mass or the yards in the Manchester area. Or post a wanted post here.

I'm sure if you contacted Levent (aka ZMBlueDevil) @Guten Parts + Service, he would be happy to help you.

Screws are 2.9mm (close to a #4) sheet metal.

I have Item 2 and Item 18 in http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E3...nel_dashboard/ if you need them.

i need #2 and #4 in the first picture

Or you could got to Lowes or Home Depot and get #4 x 3/8" screws for #2 and #4 x 7/8" (or 1") screws for #4.
