Why didn't you remove the airbag sensor brackets?

Still can. I thought about it. I thought ABS and the airbags are together or something like that?

How would I delete it?

[craiggroves91]

Tested out some primer

Na man totally different things. Your are thinking of SRS which is the airbag stuff. ABS is just brakes. I believe all you need to do would be remove the Airbag steering wheel, the SRS 'brain' (it's under the dash on the driver's side i believe), and all the sensors and harness for the air bags. It will all unplug from the main harness. You shouldn't have to cut anything to get that stuff out. I removed my cruise control stuff completely from the car and it wasn't too bad. Didn't have to cut any wires. It's pretty straight forward overall and if you have a bentley manual, I believe it covers all of the airbag stuff in there.

I know they are completely different things, but for some reason i heard they worked together or were somehow together.

Maybe I'm thinking of my e36 m3?
who knows haha
Well anyways ill cut em off and just ziptie the wire somewhere.

I don't think so....but I could be wrong too.

Lol at cuttin 'em off. That could work too of course. But if you don't want the airbag at all then you'll have to go through the full process. It's not as bad as it sounds. It's really pretty simple man lol.

I'm saying cut the Bracket off and unplug the sensor wires.

I'll deal with the SRS brain later on.

Hopefully I can get out there soon and get the bitch primed.
Worked on cutting the airbag sensor brackets off today for a little bit.

Come by! Just laid down quite a bit of filler primer. Looks pretty good so far

[craiggroves91]

Cut off the airbag sensor brackets for you MR 325.



Then my buddy and I got busy sanding and laying down some filler primer. I'm pretty happy so far.
Of course I have to sand it again and I have to fill some things with spot puddy.
