I will be interested to see what parts work. I know that the only master that I could use was the dealer - my labor (son) was not going to waste his time if I did not purchase dealer part - which worked. He had already wasted 6 hours trying to fit non dealer part. Problem was the cylinder bleed port could not be attained with cylinder mounted - perhaps it needed the shorter rod, I don't recall. And then, we did the slave. Again, I wasn't going to waste my labor time - my deal is I purchase dealer parts, or I do the labor. Even then, the dealer did not have the correct part, but the slave was easier to get to and without any removal labor, it was determined that the dealer part was wrong, so the car came off the lift. A call to Classic center arrived at proper part number and lower cost at dealer. The correct slave for me looks much like the '85 190D slave at Rusty site - i.e. mount holes appear offset from center of cylinder, whereas '78 mount holes are in line with center of cylinder. My car is '84 euro 240D with clutch. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
