Help! my MINI eats bolts and nuts and screws. Not really. I dropped one of my screws that hold the air intake to the fire wall and cannot find it or a replacement.

also, replacing my Coil with another one Ii dropped the rubber gromet that is mounted on the bottom of the Coil pack.

anyone have an idea other than BMW/MINI to get the parts?:impatient

 

I donno if this will help but...

My MINI ate one of the screws that holds the tachometer in place above the steering wheel. I brought the other one to a hardware store and they matched it. But, if you don't have one that is identical, I guess this doesn't really help . Good luck though!

 

i forget the email addy for the guy at classic, but you should be able to order whatever part you need from them....its like something@classlicautocampus i dunno lol but look up the parts on www.realoem.com then give the part number to classic and order them

 

I am fortunate enough to have a local mini tuner nearby my office. they have been pretty cool about hooking me up with spare nuts and bolts whenever my mini gets hungry and decides to eat whatever hardware I drop into the abyss. so if you have any local mini tuner shops, see if they can help you out.

 

I have been able to find serveral replacements at local hardware stores and Fastenal

BTW, Classic's email is:bmwparts@driveclassic.com and don't forget to mention NAM to get your discount.

 

I can vouch for classic. I deal with paul and Jayson there. both great.
