  1. Hi Guys.

    I have an X74 kit turning up in the next couple of days from Gert for my 01 facelift C2 tip coupe.

    Is there a 'this is how you fit it' guide any where to be had ?

    I'm specifically looking for thing like bolt torque settings, essential parts that must be changed (i.e. like strut mounts, new bolts etc) ?

    I'm doing the work myself, but would assume that a re-alignement is required afterwards (car is freshly aligned one moth ago)

    any first hand experience would be appreciated !

    thanks in advance

  2. Tool Pants - I've found the part number - had to dissassemble the whole assembly to work out what bits went where.

    It's the aluminum bracket that bolts to the triangle on the door, with the spigot to allow the mirror to rotate, and the wires to pass through from the mirror to the multi connector.

    The spigot is the part that broke due to over-rotation of the mirror.

    Local parts dealer wants £100 ($160) !

    I've had a go @ fixing it - slighlty reamed out the spigot, and inserted an aluminium sleeve, all held in place with industrial epoxy.

    Its curing in an oven now. If it works, all well & good - and I'm not out of pocket. If it doesn't, I'll have to cough up for the new part.
