It started out protecting some wheels tires from dirt and ended up guarding them from ravaging dogs ?? The UUC Digest is acquiring the same bad habits as the Pentagon !!....we start out with a black plastic bag and end up with a custom fabricated stainless steel container with titanium locks and hinges (it's gotta be rust-resistant ) containing shelves made from Hastelloy with Neodymium tiedowns and a hydraulically powered lid having gold-plated switches to activate a hydraulic motor driven by unique lithium storage batteries .Viva Pentanonsensis .

I took some chain and a couple of 8' fence posts and made a tire rack in no time flat. I looped the chain around the bottom rung of the garage roof trusses (had to poke 4 holes in the drywall ceiling to do this) and then 'sandwich' bolted the posts to the chain so they would not slip. The tires 'nest' between the posts neat, tidy and out of the way. Home Depot, ~$40 invested in chain and posts. Probably even cheaper with Harbor Freight chain! About an hour later I have a tire rack for 8 tires/wheels, enough to store my winter wheels in the summer and my track/summer tires in the winter. You could probably hang a gorilla from this tire rack. I have to grab a ladder to get them down, but they are out of the way for the other 364 days and 20 hours of the year! No worries about dogs, dirt, theft, etc. I can send a few pictures to anyone that might be interested. It's pretty simple really. Cheers, Chet Dawes -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm looking for a wheel storage bag that will protect my summer wheels from dust and dirt while they sit waiting for summer to arrive again. I know BMP was giving away a storage bag like this a few months ago when you bought a wheel and tire set, but I don't know of anywhere to buy just the bag. Anyone have any sources?

The most critical aspect of off-season wheel storage is lighting. Most prefer pin-spots, but I prefer the aesthetics of gentle floods. Aimed slightly off-center, of course, just like 99.9% of owner-installed "fog" lights. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Tom K.

If you have to protect them against a peeing dog then I'd *definitely* go with watertight, disposable trash bags! on 2/9/05 9:30 AM, wy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I saw this tire carrier advertized in GRM. $19 for 2. > It may be useful for people without trailers. > > http://www.vulcantire.com/tiretote_stt.htm?refad=GooTireBag But I like these better than the vinyl tire covers I'm using.

They are probably made that way so they can be advertised as "one size fits all".

But make sure you pull the bags tight and don't leave anywhere for liquid to puddle. God help you if you get a puddle of half-evaporated week-old dog pee spilled on your shoes. Ask me how I know. No wait, don't ask. -JB ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2005 10:22:36 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: <E30> coolant hoses Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> further info on the coolant hoses: Part numbers are: 32 41 1 092 982 and 11 53 1 289 257 Can anyone tell me from the EKT what the locations are for these hoses.
