As I said the parts are off the shelf from Home Despot. The hex coupler is called a "coupler." I happened to use the 5/8" coupler and 5/8" carriage bolt and nut as I stated in the previous email. You can use any shift knob you want, but I did use a single set screw, which I tapped and set. The pics should be pretty self-explanatory but if not contact me directly.

Custom made mount or bought and how much taller than a stock knob? Thanks, these are what I am looking for.

He got stuck on the first one because he couldn't get a hole started with a drill bit. He went to the local ACE Hardware and bought what the owner said was his best bit and it wouldn't cut it either. He center punched it to get the bit centered and started small (about an 1/8" bit) and nothing. He thought the bit was a titanium. I didn't see it or the packaging it came in, but figured I would ask the collective wisdom out here for some advise. Anyone?

Is he drilling through a stainless steel kick plate? Stainless can be a pain to drill through as it work hardens almost instantly. Slow speed lots of pressure and lots of coolant should get through it. If you spin the bit on stainless it is over (well, not really, but it isn't going to be easy). Then again, I have encountered plain steel panels that had enough carbide inclusions that they destroyed a brand new bit on my first hole. -- Joe -- Joseph M.

I hooked up my trusty AE scantool to friend's 1999 540iA to try to troubleshoot the ABS/traction control lights on the dash. I expected to get a wheel sensor error, but instead got the following: Error 51-Pressure sensor open circuit Error 69- Lateral acceleration sensor plausibility I cleared the codes and they came right back, trouble is I don't know what they mean or perhaps more importantly what to fix or replace to get the ABS/DSC working again. Any help is appreciated and I apologize for the cross post.

It may be a problem with the steering wheel angle sensor, or the lateral G sensor, or even the vehicle speed sensor (average of the ABS wheel sensors) Gary Derian ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Craven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 4:15:30 PM Subject: [UUC] ABS Error Codes Hi all, Looking for a little help from the collective knowledge.
