    @Jehu
    this question I have to pass on to others, I only know the IHKA, but not the manual version.
    What might help is the site of Gunnar in Germany
    he has made a lot of instructions and also shows the different systems, he also modified to IHKA and shows the differences.
    Go thru all these pages, lots of pics
    IHKR >IHKA conversion
    72 pages, big file!

    Default Dash is off

    Got the dash off in about 1 hour. Man what a job, it will probably take me more than a day to get it all back together. Looks like I will be able to repair the flaps without removing the IKHA but I need to know if I can get the parts. I have attached a picture of both flaps.

    The metal flap "above" has plastic button which is lying next to the flap, broken in two pieces. The rest of the broken button can be seen through the floor vent, it is an arm. So I will need to get the arm. Wonder if it is available?

    The plastic flap "above" can be JB Welded back into place which I will do tonight Any suggestions before I proceed?????

But not a absolutel must do.
    On E34 I am not sure, but should probably the same.
    Stepper motors do not have a separate fuse, all controlled by the IHKA unit.
    Make pics, Joe, and a nice short instruction how to do.
    And good Luck

    I am afraid there are no single parts available from the dealer.
    Only the housing center item # 3 complete
    http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E3..._conditioning/
    Part number: 64 11 1 374 325 $ 236.50

    options: get the upper part from a used one
    or
    make a aluminium bracket or from plastic, where you have the possibilities.

    As a used one will probably also be brittle, I would try to make the brackets DIY.

    Make as many pics as possible, and send them to me, to the link on my website, to Hairywithit, he will include that on the site. Will be good for future help.
    And a short write up would also be good.
    And when you have the parts made, new busines for you ;-)
    many people will need them.

    Default Here is the arm through passenger floor vent

    Here is a pic of the arm. Not the white arm but the black one behind it. I circled it with a yellow line. I will pull the existing and see if I can make one. Now I wish I had a mill.

    Default Plastic flap glued in place

    Cleaned the shaft where the plastic flap broke off. Then spread some JB Weld along the broken edge of the flap, tried to make it a thin line just on the edge and the thickness of the plastic flap. Stayed away from the edge about 1/4" (see photo). Then I pushed the other flap closed in the other vent, this makes it easier to position the flap into place and gives it support on three of the four edges with the forth edge being the broken edge. Carefully place the broken flap into place making sure not to get glue anywhere except the break. Once the flap was in place I then smeared JBWeld along the broken seam. with a popsicle stick. Making sure not to get it too thick so it doesn't get on any other parts. That was about 2 hours ago, just went out to test it and it worked. Once it sets up over night I will apply JBWeld to the other side. I also spread JBWeld on the other flap, It has a couple of hair line cracks on it too. This is a tight area and my head was against the windshield and had to fight to get one eye into position to see down the hole Isn't the prettiest job with glue I have seen but if it works who cares
