Also what is this bracket for on the drivers side frame rail!?! I don't recall removing anything useful from there and I'm having a hard time seeing it in other e30 bay pictures and it doesn't exist on my 1991... you can also see it in the last picture I just posted above... this picture below is NOT mine. Not sure what hes doing but its the only thing ive found that references this bracket! Just want to know before I hack it off for my tuck!

It looks as if the bracket was used as a grounding point. Found this pic off a thread on r3v that shows a ground strap hanging from there.

Thanks Mike! Did you end up grounding that there on your swap or going elsewhere?

There is frequently a ground point on the opposite frame rail.
Just a stud chilling out with a bit of a flat plate behind it.

Mods should move this thread to the build thread area.

Curious if anyone can help me identify these rear trailing arms by part number. Ive searched around and nothing comes up with this part number or any variation of it..

They're thought to be off a 6 Cylinder Z3 for my 5 lug swap, I just want to confirm so I order the right bearings but nearly all of the trailing arm part numbers start with 333.

These start with 385... if you drop the 7. Haha.

The numbers end in 762 and 761 for right and left which is consistent with the other trailing arm part numbers ive found but nothing starting with 385... And those 7's look an awful lot like 1's...

Im embarrassingly confused.

Help PLEAAAAASE!
