I posted a lengthy qustion about changing a timing chain, and other questions
on my 1987 300D, but, I see no way to view the the whole posts... I get a
numbered column of replies, but just the heading, not the message. I used to be
able to read the whole message.
Can someone explain?
Thanks,
Richard Fine

I pulled the ashtray out and I think I see what you mean by "mounting frame"
- which has, sure enough two screws holding it down in there. As the name
would suggest, it accepts the ash tray after you've emptied it, etc.
Yes, on the left is that copper colored tab that scrapes along the side of
the ashtray when you pull it open - but - I think what it scrapes against at
this point is plastic. There must be a metal piece that comes up over or
under the plastic side of the ashtray to meet that tab - and it must come
with the lighter "base".
