This came up on another post a few years ago... I don't think anyone could figure it out. Sorry.

Good call re rare parts thread. I saw this post there years ago. No info

Is this ignition wire harness cover rare? I'm looking at the cone-shaped piece that extends from the distributor plugs to the long thin ignition wire cover on the VC. I can't find a part number anywhere, and I've seen it on very few M20's.

Guy on instagram claims the part number is 12121735181, but no search results for that. Also pinged Levent.. he says he's seen only a couple of them over the years and that they're crazy rare..

For future reference, the part number for this piece *is* 12-12-1-735-181. Yes it's NLA. Every M20 should have this damn piece. Garagistic where are you??

Hit up sssquid i bet he could 3d one.

that would not be something i would 3D print being so close to the exhaust. some of you overestimate 3D printing capabilities for real parts. to print in something durable as opposed to pretty crappy plastics the the DIY ones do would cost easily a few hundred on a big $$$ machine

The finish on 3d printed parts isnt all that great either. It's fine for complex parts with heaps of corners, but when you have flat surfaces all you get is lines. Its getting better...but it wont look very OEM.

It's so frustrating how those simple little parts that really complete an e30 are nla

You can actually 3D print a mold and injection mold a small run of parts with it. Ask me how I know. Not cheap, and the material has to be very heat resistant. Pretty demanding application

ive always wondered if you bought stuff like that from these kind of places if a few weeks later you get a call from your bank saying that there is fraud and someone had racked up thousands in some obscure part of the world....

We'll find out. I just ordered 8 of them. Shipping cost a fortune.
