That booster relocation bracket is pretty trick, who makes it if it's not a secret ? Is it readily available ?
The booster is designed and made by a young fella down here in OZ. His name is Corey Clark and his business is 26th Street Fabrication. He started making them as the ones from Ergen are so expensive to buy and ship to Australia. These are almost a third of the price. Yes they're readily available. He's made a few now and would be happy to ship over there I'm sure.

Yeah I think low and slow is the go. I might bake them and then while they are still warm/hotish, bolt them back on the heads till they cool down. Should pull them back to square if they had twisted any.
They are actually made out of magnesium not alloy (why BMW did that I don't know) hence the reason they pit.

Painted mine to early in the swap. The engine had to go in and out so many times with the changes through my swap, now they have many knicks in the crinkle paint
