Re: [MBZ] Cup Holder for1995 E320

[Mike Canfield]

A cell phone ban while driving will never work unless the car manufacturers 
start installing signal blocking devices or materials of some sort to make 
them not work in cars.  They are banned here in Ny and I even see the State 
troopers ride by talking on the phone.

I got rid of my *regular* phone.  I had to get a cell phone for work, 
and since the cell phone had free long distance I found I rarely used my 
regular line.  I also find that customer service from cell phone 
companies is considerably better, probably because they have real 
competition.

thanks to all for info on valve adjustment. I look forward to tackling it.

  took a peek into the EGR...cavity...on the SD intake manifold last
 night - not pretty. I was convinced right there to cap the lines, but I
really want to remove it entirely. Dave M posted a link to the
124performance site. Will the specs for the plates be the same?  Probably
not.

  Thanks

Of course, according to the Washington State Republicans, just living in

Chances are they just have a database that links aproximate physical

Linux still uses IP numbers...

Re: [MBZ] Cup Holder for 1995 E320

[Dave M.]

There's always the fold-up kind that bolt to the door panel. They work
great, look decent, but I still don't like drilling holes to mount
them. I've also seen them mounted in the center console under the arm
rest, which is nice for some chassis (works on W123, early W124,
probably some others too). Performance Products sells them, Rusty
might also sell them - I'm not sure.

Re: [MBZ] E36 KMAC Camber Plates

[Dave M.]

I'm pretty sure this is very different than the K-mac bushing kit. The
camber plates for struts are a totally different item than the
eccentric bushings. Also note that E36 is a BMW chassis, similar to
Mercedes 'W124'... not to be confused with the W124 AMG model 'E36'
that was sold in Europe.

Some pictuers of the failed camber plates would be nice, though!

For reference, photos of the K-Mac eccentric camber bushings are here:

Re: [MBZ] valve adjust & EGR awfullness

[Christopher McCann]

I need one for a 603 and 617.
  
  I will talk to my friends and am almost certain that we will take, in 
addition, 3 more for a 617.
  
  do 616's have EGR's? don't think they do...if so, we'll be adding another 3.
  
  Please let me know on the 616 and I will check with my friends and will give 
you a definite number.
  
  GREAT! Down with the EGR!

thanks to all for info on valve adjustment. I look forward to tackling it.

  took a peek into the EGR...cavity...on the SD intake manifold last
 night - not pretty. I was convinced right there to cap the lines, but I
really want to remove it entirely. Dave M posted a link to the
124performance site. Will the specs for the plates be the same?  Probably
not.

  Thanks

[MBZ] Crap - need paint

[Lee Levitt]

I encouraged the badges on the rear of my sedan to fall off. Normally a
little solvent and a bit of polishing compound is sufficient to clean up
what's leftbut not in this case.

Looks like the PO had the trunk painted at some point, and there's paint
build up where the letters were. Lots of it...mounds of it.

So it looks like I'm going to have to sand and repaint those two areas on
the trunk. Anyone know where I can get Mercedes paint in a spray can?

Or do I need to get it custom blended?

Thanks!

I saw this in a magazine -- a low-priced powder coating sprayer from
Sears, has 20 diff colors in spray-can type cartridges.  You need an old
oven to bake the stuff in.  I recall someone a year or so ago was doing
powder coating but I think the equipment was somewhat pricey.  This
might be a nice way to do up the old banged-up bundt wheels and other 
parts.


http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=SEARS&pid=00917288000

I also saw in a mag (and I think at Lowes) this new universal
wrench-type deal that has 6 sliding jaws in it, you put it over a nut
and squeeze it like pliers, which tightens the jaws against the nut.
Fits various size nuts, and works well on rounded-off nuts.  Looked
well-built.  I might have to get one.

Well it does not compare to my dual T1's at work but this is the only
choice I have right now. Download speeds are sometimes close to T1 but
there is a very noticeable delay once you make a request whice is to
be expected since you are transmitting to a satallite. I have the
DW6000 modem which is more reliable than the 4000's. But if DSL was
available I would do it in a second.

Re: [MBZ] Cup Holder for1995 E320

[ned kleinhenz]

< < On my '83 300D, those cup holders that hook into the window lip work
pretty
 well. Newer cars may have doors that are too thick, though. >>


I use one of those cup holders in my '95 E300D. But I knocked it around too
much with my arms when it was hooked on the door.
It seems to work well hooked on the right side of the console, so the cup
hangs just in front of the lefts side of the passenger seat.
The cup holder hangs kind of loose there, but it only falls off about once
per year during a panic stop or sudden turn.

[MBZ] Cup holder

[BillR]

Mercedes in all their wisdom forgot one extremely important thing, a coffee
cup holder.

I bought one of the plywood ones on eBay that fits into the space under the
arm rest on my '81 SD.  It does fit nicely, but the placement is so awkward
that I have never been able to use it.  I don't recommend it.

I use that kind on my 124, too.  Not great, but it works better than
putting the cup between your thighs and risking a DIY vasectomy on

I would stay away from the KMAC camber plates. I had them on my car 
for 10,000 miles with stock shocks & springs
and both sides failed.  I lifted the car up to change the brakes 
before a track session and both struts dropped out of the
strut hats. The parts that mounted to the car stayed attached with 
the car and the struts pulled out of the polyurethane.


I contacted KMAC and never got a response.

I have pictures if anyone wants to see them.

Hope this keeps someone from making a mistake,

Relative to stock, how noisey are the KMAC camber plates? Are they a good

can you go with stock strut bearings and simply re-align toe to spec?

Re: [MBZ] Stiff throttle

Check for an abnormal spring installed down on the linkage just where it

have no idea that her few blocks of major megalopolis at one time was

Most decidedly the 616 is different. It's lacking the 617's fifth
cylinder!

The shop manual I have is entitled, "Service Manual, Engines 615, 616,
617.91." They're all the same. Forget your hyperness.

Re: [MBZ] migration and fintail parts

[Zach]

Working on the VW Syncro Westy I got last winter.  I am ashamed to
admit that I have been so distracted by VW vans and Unimogs that it
took me three months to notice that I wasnt getting email from mbz.org
anymore.  My TD is sitting with the interior torn out and a swamp on
the floor...  :(

But I am glad to see that nothing has changed.  1 day back on this list
and several hundred emails in my box, some of which are even related to
benz stuff!

Re: [MBZ] Powder Coat Wheels

[Alex Chamberlain]

I vaguely recall some controversy about whether or not powder-coating
is a good idea for alloy wheels---like maybe the sustained heat
required to bake the coating on weakens the aluminum in some way? 
Anybody know anything about this?

John --

This guy is good. I have an ISP out of Des Moines. But I am an hour
northwest in a town of 5000. This has it narrowed down to a zip code! ... I
want to choke him, but I am definitely impressed from a computer-geek
standpoint. ... The IP is assigned to the local telephone company, so maybe
that is how the algorithm is designed. But even if that is the case, he is
good and has a huge database.

Uh ... maybe we should take this to the Linux side of the party? Those are
the only guys who know what we are talking about anyway.

[MBZ] Crash!

[TimothyPilgrim]

I just finished watching it, the 2005 version. It's not a terribly
uplifting movie, but I liked it even moreso because of that. But then,
the 1996 version wasn't uplifting either, and both dealt with car
crashes. I like the first one though because it was filmed in my
stomping grounds, and Holly Hunter bares all...

Benz Content:

At 1:00:20 (or so), there is a very good shot of a Palamino W123 300TD
stuck in traffic, as seen from the front right corner.

That is all.

Re: [MBZ] Beer enema

Various folks have been hard at work pining down physical location  
based on IP address.
The telco/cable providers have to have this info so they can  
backtrace an ip address to
your phone, or asdl/cable box so the fellows in the black helicopters  
know where to land.


A more mundane usage is to target advertising by location that can  
pay premiums, or wanting to

restrict access by country for example.

Re: [MBZ] 1992 Olds 98

My 1972 Olds 98 got 12 MPG in town and 19 MPG on the highway. The secret is
that they had a very efficient TurboHydromatic 400 transmission. The
transmission was 99% efficient in high gear.

My brother had one, either a '72 or '73, with 455 4bbl. One 0-60 run would
drop the fuel gauge about one needle width. I believe it got over 15mpg on
the highway though. Must have had a tall final drive.

It's either a tire or a major coincidence.  The car went straight before the

Sure sounds like a tire if swapping tires cures it. Almost all of my 
experience is that if the car pulls in one direction, without other 
symptoms, it's rarely the tire. If the pull follows the tire, however, 
then even if tires usually don't cause the problem, I'd indict the 
tire/wheel.

On my '83 300D, those cup holders that hook into the window lip work pretty
well.  Newer cars may have doors that are too thick, though.
