I know it is possible to take the RS2 mirrors apart, but they are different. The painting of the mirrors did not turn out good enough the first time. It has to be re-done.
Does anyone know a transparent foil i can use under the parts that is going to be riveted on to the body? The original i no longer available. AKL44830004

Does anyone know what center bearing and rubber boots i can use on the propshaft?

And more parts!
2018-03-04 16.23.47 (Copy).jpg I need the white part new. But when i ordered it at Audi Tradition, i got a different part, and it does not fit.

What CV boot can i use for the prop shaft? Ford Sierra stuff? What center bearing? I heard a BMW bearing does fit.Attached Files

Lovely lovely job
shame that the copper brake pipes want stay so nice and shiny for long time.i put heat shrink on mine so they just black pipes now instead going green in few years(or months)
Paintwork looking stunning-who did it for you?

More expensive than copper lines, but not that expensive to frighten someone who restores a car with such a great quality level.
What I can't find still is OEM-style brake line fitings M10x1 made out of stainless steel.

Stainless is much harder so you need high quality bending tools and it is less forgiving. You need really to get aero tubing which is true seamless with a thin wall, and it is quite expensive but not crazy. You also don't need to double flare the female ends as it is far harder wearing . As ShurikeN says when you put this much effort in to a restoration it is worth the effort and extra cost.
I plan to convert to -3AN throughout using 3/16 stainless tube, but you can buy M10x1 fittings pretty easily here in the UK.
