Hi, they all seem to be for an E36, are these compatible?

I made one for the E36 3 series fit without much trouble on my 2.0 6 cyl. I can show you some photo's.

E36s just require a little mod for the ground nut, if you are handy it is a great cost saving

The E36 one does actually need a much bigger mod than that Ash. If I hadnt been very careful when first closing my bonnet after fitting mine it could have been a disaster!

Really? sorry i thought the only difference was the ground

To be totally honest so did I Ash, after I carefully cut the piece out for the earth point I bolted the turret tops on and fitted the cross brace. I don't know why but something made me not drop the bonner from a few inches as I normally would and I gently lowered it down and found the the stiffeners under the bonnet were hitting on the strut top brackets for the cross brace. I had some serious modifying to do as I had already cut out the earth point so there was no way I could send it back to the seller.
I can post some pictures when I have time if any one is interested.

Tony.
