Cottage industry yes: this could be like the people who repair tubies...... or who did capaciator replace in e36 Bmw heat/AC controls boards
Totally. I may have disposed of the old and broken DTI box (cut wires etc), but I don't remember doing so, so perhaps it's tucked away in a box. I hope. I'd cut that one up and see what I'd be dealing with.

There should be someone that rebuilds or simply recreates the fuel-injection harnesses on old E30 6-cylinder cars. Couldn't believe Pelican parts or anyone else didn't have that. There were harnesses/sub-harnesses for everything else it seemed. My dad helped me redo mine, which was successful.
