You can use the spot where the radio front/back speaker switch normally is located.

Hi,
You need to weld an extra piece that holds it in place under your car, did the same with mine.
#5 in picture underneath:
Youll also need a new mid-silencer then

The billies from W&N for the 323i have a delivery time of four weeks.

Re: BMW-POWER'S 78' E21 320/6
Good job, the ride height looks great.
I'll be installing Billies with H&R pretty soon too
We both have an antrazitgrau car. I added the chrome door handles, and I think it looks great with this colour.
I did a test drive in a 320/6 when I was looking for my first E21. That one stalled below 3000rpm and wouldn't accelerate at all when you floored it. Above 3000rpm it was fine. The seller said this was normal for a carb engine and my friend I had with me then said it wasn't and the carb needed adjustment / cleaning. Maybe this helps a little.

Re: BMW-POWER'S 78' E21 320/6
today came home with a complete 323i rear axle in my caddy
first complete revision of it, and then i can fix a full 323i brake/suspension system in my Shark,
will brake a lot better than with the original 320/6 brake drums on the rear...

Re: BMW-POWER'S 78' E21 320/6
The most think that drumbrakes are not as good as discbrakes.
If you know how less the brakes at the back are used it is not allways neccessary to convert to discbrakes. I think that the rearbrakes in normal setup are maximum 25% of the total brakepower. The only advantage you have with discbrakes is that the heat goes away faster then with brakedrums.
Offcourse there are systems that ables you to change the brakebalance in the car and then the discbrakes have more advantage but with the standard setup i am not sure.
