    Default WTB: Need part from E34 / M5 sport seat

    Happen to be sitting on a basket of E34 sport seat parts?

    Here's what I need - on the front sliding bolster, on the bottom, there is a plastic guide piece that holds the bolster to the guide rail. Need one. It's riveted to the frame so I'd be happy to work with you on some creative removal plans. As best I can tell, it's not an orderable part.

    On the other hand, if anyone knows the part number for this little gizmo, I'd be most appreciative. And no, the one from the E30 sport seats don't work.

    I'd prefer to just get the right part if I could. But yes, I have considered trying to fabricate the required item.

    Yes you could turn down a piece of delrin i'm sure that will be a great fix. I dont know what the piece looks like or size but I have a 2 lathes and a mill from my father and have made many little things like that. You dont use the machines all the time but when you do you sure are glad you can. Just a thought.

    Default right. I'd love to have resources like that....

    ...the ability and skill to fab up parts would be wonderful. You could likely build it from a small delrin block. It's about the size of a large postage stamp. Maybe I can post a picture in a couple days...
