PROJECT 1968 BMW 2002 PH02E10 - Alternator Bushings

[@alekhineuy9549]

I just wanted to say thanks for posting all these great vids. Definitely been an inspiration to help me keep my own restoration and rebuild going

[@spuriouspseudo]

I've got some brake stuff coming next

[@Easton21]

You have a knack for posting videos right as I’m about to tackle the exact same project on my ‘76. Great video, should be a huge help!

[@spuriouspseudo]

Awesome... The bracket is a perfect fit. It sounds like some people have a good fit with the bushings, so it may be pretty straight forward for you.

[@enjoythehunt5135]

Make sure those teeth line up with the slots and fit snug for that alternator tensioner.. wouldn't want any tension issues. That throaty sound of the m10...❤ it!!

[@spuriouspseudo]

Yup, actually just went and double checked... Had the car out a few times now and everything is nice and tight.

[@shukerij]

Yesss… you really made my day with your video…. Really love watching this.

[@spuriouspseudo]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the watch!

[@PapaG701]

You've got her sounding real good. I got that bracket too, and the bushings....surprised they didn't just press right in. As always, great video.

[@spuriouspseudo]

Thanks! I wonder if there are a few different alternator casings, or maybe mine is a misfit. I've heard from others that were able to just pop them in, too.

[@FlankyFrankie]

Cool car my guy.

[@spuriouspseudo]

Woot! I can't wait to get it to really rev some day.

[@nielspieter]

Sweet! Just checked for that bracket as well. Superhandy if you have to tighten the belt yourself.

[@spuriouspseudo]

For sure... If I had done the job from the alternator side it would have take just a moment to do. It's a really nice bracket.

[@jackhmason]

First I want to thank you for such a helpful, thoughtful and well produced series, especially since I'm embarking on a similar e10 journey. Is there a way to get in touch for advice and with questions?

[@ericp.9497]

Working on a concrete floor ... the job goes a little sideways ... It's like looking in a mirror. It's all worth it for the sound of those carbs, Man. Keep up the good work! I don't suppose you're coming to The Vintage?

[@spuriouspseudo]

Oh man, I'd love to come. Maybe over the next couple of years, but I can't even get across the border at the moment... Bit f a haul for me, but it'd be a great roadtrip!

[@brentthompson8317]

What radiator are you running? It seems to have a nice looking rounded end on the top tank that some of the others don't have. Thanks

[@spuriouspseudo]

It's a Champion Cooling Systems rad... It's a good unit an cost effective. I had some trouble on my car but the general consensus is that they drop in. More details here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJvOc2Cal9Oalac

[@VolkyHaus]

what size carb are those 40 or 45

[@spuriouspseudo]

They are 40s, check out the vids all about them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d36se2B9etenrtk kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHOac4iuedOGfaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/opXJl3WMpdumpsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqYdIyZbLB_qdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYbGmaGvq51nrrM

Wonder if it’s worth spending an extra 14 thousand and getting a 1972 2002 car that’s been restored from suspension, engine , drive train and interior versus getting a 1968 1600 that is bone stock. Just wondering if it’s cheaper by spending the extra cash up froo

[@spuriouspseudo]

I would ask what you're looking for, a complete car or a build experience. If you want a driver, grab the '72. The '68 being a 1600 will be lighter, if it's unmolested could appreciate more over the years as a 1600 as I think that they'll become hard to find... Do you see yourself wrenching more or do you imagine mainly driving?

[@waterlover]

@@spuriouspseudo I want to tinker with it every other month , lowering it add some wheels try to spice up the engine. See if I can make it a tad faster, wonder if people put the tii engine in the 1600
