Bosch plug failure mystery in BMW r12

 1940 BMW R12

 2000 BMW R1200

I had used new Bosch plugs in Nissans  w ZERO success, they just would not run right 4 me, so went back to the Japanese brands, Unusual experience  when a Bosch plug failed in the 1940 R12, using a Bosch SUPER RO 288 gapped at 559mm or .022, and 1 plug worked the other over time failed,, both cleaned , i swapped it for both plug wires n it was 100% the plug... i just assumed it was Made in Germany like all the other highest quality Bosch components i use.  not to knock Brazil but ,, this one was made there n u can see w the close-ups the other id numbers on it. so i swapped it for a NGK outa my Chief n of course the NGK B7HS worked great, i've been reccomended to use NGK B6HS and NGK B7HS ,,so if u need plugs use this series. not that i'm an expert , but it works 4 me...
 I posted the 1940 and the 2000 BMWs ,, amazing 60 some odd years and vast improvements..

Harley Davidson 1932 model B

1959 Mercedes Benz Ponton 180 gasoline model

Looks like someone punched it in the eye..

4 door coupe , shorter than the 220 series.

bumper brackets broken..taillight lens worn out...chrome is good...

Some shit 4 brains tried to rob the windshield n broke it...

Cancered out fenders from poor undercoating ...ez fix..

Same imbecile robbed the original fuel pump so i found a knockoff that works...unknown maker, not Weber or Webcon... no idea who or where its made ,,but it functions..filthy dirt ...

rebuilt generator installed.53 years later electrical components always need service although the voltage regulator was in mint condition.

No wonder it doesnt shift in gear properly... someone robbed this intermediate round linkage bracket....GOT ONE? i need it..

Generator mounts here...

C.A.E. Alternators Starters in Van Nuys rebuilt the generator,FAST and as u can see a fantastic job...very reasonable cost,, highly reccomend...

B4 on the generator,, rusty crusty, poor output..

Fires up right away, engine was stored w fresh oil, no keys so I ran a toggle hot wire off the ignition, next to add a kill toggle from positive terminal coil to toggle to positive terminal battery, if u dont wire it as factory or do a direct wire battery to coil the coil gets HOT n fails... Some folks add electronic ignition to these old cars,, worth considering. Next is to source that linkage bracket as in foto above, Reverse seems to function only if u start car w clutch in n Reverse engaged,,, have to figure that out...for a car that sat for 15 some odd years its in pretty good condition, from what i read its the preferred series over the next series of Heckflosse Finback cars Benz produced, I'm NO Benz expert but i can learn ...it is a fun old car...
