[MBZ] OT Shoe Goo?
Hi, All. I need boot repair advice. I was wrestling the snowblower into the shed after this last snowfall and managed to stab the toe of my rubber(?) boot with the end of a small bolt, 1/4 dia. The bolt pulled out and the hole closed up, so I only need to seal the top of the boot. Will the infamous Shoe Goo be the best? Or are there other, better, solutions. Clumsy Clot wants to know.

[MBZ] OT Peaceful demonstrators
Had an issue with the anti war folks. Wife was out of town yesterday and left the e300d parked downtown. Not too close to the path of the peaceful demonstrators. Seems one of them decided they did not like german cars. No indication that the owner might support the war effort, just wanted to vandalize the car. They only got the driver window busted before a cop used his muddler on them. Cops got hold of the wife and let her know, I get to figure out how to get it out of impound and fit a new window before rain damages the interior.

[MBZ] Harbor Freighter
Harbor Freight is having a sale. (I got a fuel-pressure test kit that has Bosch CIS fittings in it. $70. The diesel compression tester is again on sale at $17.) But what was particularly interesting was a 1# box of Alumiweld (http://www.alumiweld.com) rods. These are some kind of zinc alloy meant for brazing aluminum and pot metal. $12, usually it's more like $20 there, or $30 elsewhere. The printed instructions were fragmentary and the importance of a clean dedicated stainless steel (no substitutions!) cleaning brush was not clear. I think I may go back and get a brush, and maybe another 1# box of rods. This is the stuff that would probably have been very good for fixing that window regulator. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] 1982 240D - is it worth it?
My 78 240D w/AT and AC is ok except when starting from a stoplight. I usually turn the AC off until I get rolling. Fixing the bushing in the AT control rod transformed it - after ~30 years all bushings and rubber parts should be looked at suspiciously. If I lived where it's hilly I believe the 240D w/AT AC would be undrivable. ~65 hp in a car weighing over 3000 #'s is just too much. Also, ~20% of HP or 12hp reduces power to 53hp!

Re: [MBZ] a Hell of a nice car
WOW! That is a nice car. That would be a great car with the MB long block in it. I wonder how much that will go for? I wonder even more if I could buy it and just swap it out for my car so my wife wouldn't notice.

Re: [MBZ] how to blend in
Speaking of bumper stickers, my brother recently purchased a 1973 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. He found out it was first delivered in October, 1972. He decided it would be fun and true to the era if he put a Nixon Agnew bumper sticker on it. He found an original sticker on ebay. He is NOT a republican - far from it. He just thought it would make an interesting touch on a 73 Caddy which was probably driven by someone who voted for Nixon (because just about everyone voted for Nixon in '72).

My ground school instructor ferried B-17s during WWII, to South American to Africa then to Europe. He would leave Florida, fly south, take a left at land, and find the airfield. Then he would fly east, hit land, take a nav shot then turn right or left to the airfield.

One flaw with his theory of navigation. When you have an inflight emergency and have to quickly give your last known position prior to ditching, it is a little late to take a sun shot with the sextant. Probability of detection tables are depressing enough without having to radio in a position like about two hours south of Key West.

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freighter
Seems like each has its own little niche. Homier seems to have more small hand tools. I got a bunch of multibit screwdrivers at one of their shows once, $0.19 apeiece. Smelled like old tires, worked pretty good though. Cummins is where I got my woodsplitters which have been awesome. My new cell phone holder is decent too. Made a soup Sunday night in the dutch oven, it tasted wierd, probably the waxy preservative they used although my wife thinks it was from the olive oil I used to season it. I'm still alive so its probably not poison... Used it to cook taco meat last night which worked out fine. Interestingly cooking taco meat seems to be the fastest way to season cast iron. After dinner boiled some water in it and mopped it out with paper towels and dammed if it hasn't improved 50%. -Curt Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 07:26:24 -0700 From: Jim Cathey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freighter To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed However I did go to a Cummins Tool show last Sunday.

Re: [MBZ] 1982 240D - is it worth it?
One learns to be a better driver with less power. Even in soapbox derby, they said the winning difference was being on the right line, and steering steady. Wandering wastes time and fuel. Driving an underpowered cars teach you about looking ahead, anticipating, planning moves, especially passing carefully. With my 190Dc and 200D, I always had to drop back, look for a chance to pass coming, and then build up speed so that when the hole came, i had enough speed to pass and get back in the right lane. The 240D is worth exactly what you are willing to pay for it. Its driveability depends on what is driveable to you. There are a fair number of 240Ds still out and about.
