I was wondering if your mechanic whent the same way or he actually designed and manufactured new bracket that would allow the mounting without cutting the knuckle. Now it is clear that your mechanic went the "easy way"
By the way I will be designing new bracket to fit XI "bolt on", because I do not want to cut the knuckle. Anyone interested to buy the new bracket? |
Thank you for the pics, now I get why BMW originally said it wont fit. As you said my car mechanic probably went the easy way but I dont mind shaving the metal on knuckle as long as everything functions properly. Is there any reason beside you wanting to keep stock knuckle why you dont wanna shave it? In any case I will ask my car mechanic what exactly did he do, in case he found the bracket that would fit or custom made it, I can ask for the price n ship it to u if u like. Will let you and all know what exactly did he do and how did he make rear hand brake work..
