Extortion

Well come home after a good ride out , had a little rattle noise which was annoying .So i get home and find i have lost one of the manual lugs that hold windscreen in place , rings my local BMW dealer to order the lug, circlip , and bolt , guess what you have to order the whole assembly minus the screen , £290 pounds wow !!!! so will have to get on you tube for idea,s on getting a lug made up , or order a new replacement screen which might be cheaper .

WTF!!!
What model do you have? Can you take a picture of the part you’re after?

Hi i own 22 plate 1800 Classic i will send a photo when i can .

 

[Hammo]

The Photo , the lugs are at the bottom of each arm which clip on to the frame .

 

[Anibal]

I see. So apart from piece # 8, are you missing anything else?

 

[Hammo]

8,11, 12, circlip, bolt, and washer . the metal lug is not shown as a part dunno why , I certainly will not be paying for the full framework !!!!!!

Can you just put a bolt through and a 'nylock' nut on it?

 

[Ulrich]

Actually ... I assume you called a place like MAX BMW (or another big supplier) and asked if p/n 46 63 7924133 is available? ... assuming that I understood you correctly and the 'pin' is missing ...

Ok, may not be much but I think the attached is the bolt you need? If so I am more than happy to send it to you and you may be able to source the other parts from an automotive part supplier?

This is on eBay but has one of the lugs you’re after missing.

You must be able to source bolts, circlips and the like easily online. Invest in one of these, they are less than £10 for a good one and it’s the best thing you’ll buy all year. No more guessing what bolt something is, size, pitch, length, pic below. Remove the bolt you still have on the other side, measure it and order a replacement, easy. (You can get metric or imperial gauges, the BMW is metric).

Many thanks for the replies guys, yes i will source out some way to repair it , maybe just bolt it for the time being .
