Check theese again:






Did also spray the insides:







What to do today? Oh yes, visit my buddy at the local wheel-dealer.







The Bridgestone Potenza´s were a PITA to mount...













Small detail, but I like it...










Some new parts







What do you think of the cover beneath the coloumn?







Pretty nice cover due to 25 years of age, but totally broken by the hole from the old panel to the Webasto-heater.


What to do? Yeah... Get a new one!







Nice?? I do think so. But not "new", hehe







Quality control 1993... 19 years in storage, that is cool.



And another package:






NGK AFX Wideband Lambda, this was the one and only I wanted....

Theese pictures i have taken now, is not for guys that are familiar with E28. They were ment to be a light DIY version of "how-to change the lights in the OBC" for those who have not done it before. This forum has a DIY, so I am not trying to copy that one. I just share theese photos for fun...






Bought an upgraded version from Ebay










Quite annoying with black screen, right?






Tools needed.







Remove 2 screws from cluster







Use a small iron to carefully loosen the cluster out of position.






Turn the cluster to make some room.






Take out 2 screws to OBC-holder.







Screws out, we are good to go.






Take out the 3 bolts (not the black ones) that holds the OBC.




Use a plier to pull out the light-holder





Halfway out:






Old vs new.







Mount the new one, and assemble the parts again.





Works like a dream. Took me only 15 minutes, including taking photos. No sweat, only fun...
