For now I was able to get a bolt and lock nut through hole and still able to keep spring tenison correct on retainer hole but would like to fix it right.

Vintage thought it maybe a 95 325i. Way too big.

Tony, Reg Some help here?

thanks

Tom,

The bolt and lock nut is the way Backdraft does theirs now. They make a new plate of the dust shield. But I did find an place for you to get one of the original type of dust shield.

this will need to be slightly modified to fit and limit noise.
