To put an end to my suffering I coughed up the bread and bought a new driveshaft (well really only the front half) from Rusty. I'm ready to be driving the 190D rather than having it sit in my Indy's driveway. Before I bought I used the IM feature on Rusty's site to ask about price. I gotta say thats pretty dammed cool! Good job Rusty. When I called to buy Gary put me on hold and passed me off to Tom, sneaky.... Tom covered for him, but I knew the truth, he somehow knew from my voice I was a lister and ran in horror. ;) -Curt '85 190D 233kmi '83 240D 251kmi "Hammie"

The idea of making a wooden one appeals to me but I would need to get this one off first to use as a sort of a pattern.

Thought a slow oven may do, but probably > would just melt it all That's a tough one. The Frankenheap's grille is hard black plastic, and is just fine. But the usual one I see, and the one that is in the Ebola Fishtank, is that glued-on vinyl/foam over metal thing. I never have seen a good one of those. One other option would be to make a nice wooden one. That would be somewhat labor-intensive. Temperature control on your oven would be critical. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
