#1. Eliminating Squeaking Clutch Pedal - from Michael Schaublin
Top
Date: Mon, 06 May 2002 11:58:06 -0400 From: "Michael Schaublin" <mike_schaublin@hotmail.com> Subject: Eliminating Squeaking Clutch Pedal Gruppe, I installed the UUC clutch pedal bushings over the weekend, and they have completely eliminated the groaning from the clutch pedal. Quite possibly the best $20 I've spent on the car yet. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.

#2. Rollbar & Harnesses - from Neil Maller
Top
Date: Mon, 06 May 2002 11:07:02 -0500 From: Neil Maller <neil.maller@gte.net> Subject: Rollbar & Harnesses This past weekend I picked up a used TC Kline rollbar (thanks Ken!) which after repainting and getting new fasteners I'll be installing in my M3 this week. Anyone have any particular tips or tricks to offer? Note that this is my daily driver, so I want to do as clean an installation as possible. (And yes I'm aware of the need for proper padding, and I never carry rear seat passengers, so we can skip those parts.) Following on from that, I may later upgrade from the present Schroth Rallye 4 harnesses to a 5 point setup such as the Schroth Profi II or III. However I do intend to keep the stock seats, which poses a problem for safe routing of the sub strap. For anatomical safety and crash effectiveness this needs to be at an angle not too far off vertical, which precludes slipping the strap through the flap that joins the bottom seat cushion to the movable thigh support. I'm considering taking the seat bottom cover off and having an upholstery shops sew an aperture into it. That's assuming there's no other impediment in the seat construction, which I don't know. Anyone have words of wisdom or experience? Neil 96 M3

Highly recommended for all you high-mileage folks, I did mine at 100K miles. scott yu ..............................................

I think that is my next project for my car(of course that's after the wiper blade insert installation)... What's the difficulty like, say compared to suspension installation? Any suggestions? Pics of the dead bushings? How noticeable are the new bushings? and what is the BMW tool that you allude to in the R&R of the bushings? I can't imagine any tool that BMW sells that you can purchase with pennies.
