As my original m20 throttle cable snapped during the removal of the old engine, I needed to have a new cable. After some hours of searching and Googling I figured I needed the E36 325i cable with a curve in it (part #35411163228).

I also made a custom plug for the coolant return tube. As the E28 dash needs to get the coolant temperature from a single pole sensor, I had to place a second sensor into the cylinder head (the hoses to the throttle body can’t be used anymore).
