Steering play - Pitman arm or center tie-rod?
Hi all, It's been about 5 years since i've visited - I have just dusted off the E12! Hope everyone is well.

E34 M30B35 into E12

The 5-speed was in a donor E12 I bought, it's an OD box. I've got it mated to a 3.07 LSD and it's a dream. You're welcome to the 4-speed, got any freight contacts? Closest commercial depot to me is Mitchell ACT 2911. Also got other bits I can chuck in, PM me if you like. I'm moving house and want to...
