Bumper tuck mounts:
I built a few sets of bumper mounts to take to the meet in SF, everyone that made it either had Euros or no bumper at all... So, these 3 sets are on the open market for $30 a set plus shipping. These are the last 3 at this price due to the cost of steel going up as well as welding consumables. Future mounts will cost more. PM or email me if you want to take your car from this- click on the pics for larger image.

In just a short time, easy to follow step by step instructions included. Drilling your bumper shocks and compressing them won't get you as much of a tuck as these mounts! I didn't invent the bumper tuck, I just perfected it!!
Lower front subframe brace-AKA the lower "Alpina" bar-
You would be surprised at how much the front of these cars move around when cornering hard. An upper strut brace is a very good start to cure this but the pressure on the sway bar moves the frame rails around too. The easy cure for this is the lower front subframe brace. I made a few in stainless steel a while ago and am all out of that. I will be making a few in mild steel (pretty strong and less expensive) and a few more in 4130 chromemolly steel (much stronger and more expensive). Installation is easy and quick using two longer bolts on the front sway bar mounts.
Here's a pic of the stainless version in place on my '78:

Mild steel will be available in a week or so, 4130 in a month-I have to order the stock. PM or email for details.
Alternator bushings:
Are you tired of your alternator belt squealing or your alternator sitting in there cocked out of alignment? You COULD buy urethane alternator bushings like I did but my alternator still ended up cocked after a short time. My solution was solid aluminum bushings. Easy to install and keep the alternator sitting true to the crank pulley. $15 a set, only 2 sets and I won't make more.
PayPal, money orders and personal checks accepted (ships when check clears-never had a problem with any board members).
