What coils are compatible with this plate? The Turner link is not working.

They are the round-body ones from E46 6 cylinders. Call local BMW shops and look around online for used ones.

Alrighty, I picked up the material at lunch today. Since I hate paying extra cutting fees, I ended up with enough for 8 plates. Who wants to be #8?

And BTW future ones will run a little more than 65 shipped. Maybe $70 + shipping. Material costs for aluminum are up from a year ago when I last did these...damn you China!

Sorry BMWman, but I got in an accident with a landrover the other day and didn't realize how f*king expensive those things are to repair (insurance is saying I'm at fault). I'm gonna have to back out.

stupid paper-thin landrover sheetmetal...

Alrighty, those sort of circumstances are worthy of not getting a plate. Normally I would beat you with a sock full of quarters, buuut this time...... :p

Also making news....

I re-did the drawing for the COP plate. It is not on one page using ordinate dimensions...a little cluttered perhaps, but simpler than before. Here it is in Adobe PDF format.

Dang, that's a technical drawing. You must have been bored as hell.

If so, I'm in.

For the moment it looks like all 8 slots are filled. Based upon the "new" way I have been making these, I will do batches of 4 at a time. MAYBE 3. Once these are done, I will post up a new thread and see if i can get some multiples of 3/4 interested.

I have the last of the parts I ordered in and I will ship some tonight. I still need to make the 2nd set of 4 plates, but am horribly busy with life. They will be machined ASAP. Thanks all.
