The fan coupling or fan clutch unit seized up on my 81 E12 damaging the flange as it somehow separated or unbolted. The flange(part #11-51-1-277-387)bolts to the waterpump but is no longer available thru BMW or Bavarian Autosport. Does anyone have a spare or know of a likely source for the part? I understand it was also used on the 528e, 533,535, 733 and 735. Help !!!anyone???
thanks in advance
