What keeps the elevator bolt from just falling out? will you tack weld the nut to the floor/firewall?
I was thinking about making one but haven't looked into it much yet.It literally just screws in. I could add some loctite but it should be fine for now.

There, I got to use the "confused" reaction.
Its either just a plain hole that lets the screw act like a self-tapping sheetmetal screw, or the Germans are trolling us hard.It's a metal threaded hole. The elevator bolt cleanly threaded in and out. I'll grab a picture later.

Had one many moons ago, didn’t enjoy it.

Picked these up today. They we're for sale on the fourn awhile back I guess nobody bought them.
He said he was getting hit up from all over the US for people wanting to buy them and ship them.
He included some free M3 trim to see if I can salvage them. The plastic ridges on the back of the trim are rotten.
Anyone have an idea on how to mount them without damaging my paint? I was thinking along the lines of 3m tape or some sort of adhesive.

Clean it up with some fine steel wool and some rubbing/polishing compound? Nice score, cant go wrong with any Dinan stuff
That is tomorrows project!

Yea something that size is probably $250 - $300. Take the whole car if possible so they can match the existing paint.

I paid a local buddy $300 to prep, paint, and clear my E90 bumper.

If any of these places are little ma and pa shops it couldn't hurt to ask if there is a cash price.

I'm going to be stopping at 2 smaller shops this afternoon. I'll definitely ask if there is a cash price. My overall goal is to get a price under 250$ probably won't happen but doesn't hurt to try.

Some times the cheapest one isn't always the best, but sometimes it is. Just be prepared. Sometime the most expensive isn't the best.
