Kodachrome 158 Report post Posted March 25, 2021 Like a newb I assumed the lhd and rhd pedals are the same and ordered online.. Apparently not. Anyone got a rhd pedal assembly setup from a manual e28? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kodachrome 158 Report post Posted March 25, 2021 Whats build date for the cut off on the pedal differences? I googled but can find anything on this. Mine is March 1983. On the Early vs Late Clutch Master Cylinder, I presume there are mounts or something different.. as in either case one has to be added. Google suggests pre-85 are all early cars. I had already bought this one, which is sold (by a specialist) as fitting all E28's: https://e28goodies.com/product/brand-new-master-clutch-cylinder-lpr/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kodachrome 158 Report post Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) You are an invaluable resource to the BMW classic community Brent! That master cylinder is super spendy though!? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-BMW-E24-E28-Coupe-Sedan-Clutch-Input-Master-Cylinder-OEM-21521156002-/191908314566 Lots of conflicting info on those links though ... eg: The main body "supporting bracket for foot controls" is apparently the same part as in my Automatic car and also works on both LHD and RHD: http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/35111151375 Both the Clutch Pedal and Brake Pedal are is listed as both LHD and RHD compatible on BMW-Fans? http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/35311152018 http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/35211152013 Everything I googled on that RHD manual set seems to be applicable to LHD and about half of it is for Automatics too. What parts "make it" RHD or LHD then?? Edited March 26, 2021 by Kodachrome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything else worked out, what a stupid part to be stuck on. We did call BMW, half the parts are gone, NLA and the remaining stuff is absurdly expensive (ie about a grand, for a not complete setup). Can't find anyone in NZ with the parts either.

Kodachrome 158 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Lol, ok, I found a Rolls Royce spare parts dealer, which of course has BMW parts and ordered a hodge podge of new parts. I also ordered a used Clutch pedal and spring on eBay UK.. and signed up for a YouShop account to get a UK address. Lets hope this works out.. EDIT: Lol, of course, email from the seller, they cannot get part 35211152013 any more.. which is the stupidly specific RHD + Manual e28 brake pedal.
