Thank you sir george. There is no alternative aside from maybe cutting a slot into the rack. Red loctite is the practice for Z3 racks (they come from the factory with no locking plates)

Ahh...I see. When I did my e36 m3 '95 rack swap, I ordered two different style of locking places - just incase. One that "keys in" like a woodrift slot and another design that is a two(three?) layer design meant for z3 racks.

Sorry - I don't think I have the pics - that was a while ago.

I'll trust you on the red locktite thing.

It's just when it comes to steering, I don't like to mess around. Brake...Meh.....you can live without for a test run.

Just put a small bit of tape dead center on the wheel rim. Because race30

My favorite part was the nonfunctional speedometer.


jk dude congrats! Sounds like the M50 rips pretty quickly through 1st and 2nd, so it must be a good motor!

lol, speedometer. If there's someone ahead of you, you're losing. That's all Nate needs to know. :p

Very nice mang. You seem to really be trusting that red lock tight on that rack - not so sure I'd be so brave.

Fuck yeah I do. If I bust out the 22 to take the old wheel off, the new one is going on. :p

Wear some driving gloves like the BMW owner that you are. :rofl:

[Wh33lhop]

You don't have to put the new one on right away.

But if you did, maybe I expected wheel condams?

Hah! If I pulled the wheel off to recenter it well, the new one would have to go on, and then I'd have to get it dirty. Can't have that. ;)
