    Default actuator arms...anyone interested

    Over the weekend I made an aluminum actuator arm to replace the broken plastic arm for the IHKA flap , if there is enough interest I can start making them.

    Post that on Bimmerboard E32 forum, with pics of the broken flaps and how you repaired it (and how long it took to get to it and what to disassemble), and the price.
    I understand that fits on E34 and E32 IHKA units?

    Metal flap with broken pieces of plastic actuator arm.


    Location of flaps under the dash


    Location of flaps with duct work removed. Remove step motor #1 to access floor vent. Remove actuator arm on step motor #3 so you can move the flaps by hand.

    Does that also fit E32? Maybe you can check on your E32 735
