Re: [MBZ] Rust at jacking point 83' 300D
Hi Kaleb, You askedWonder if there is a market for shells I think that's a definate Yes! There are a LOT of old W123s that are mechanically sound but are being eaten alive by the rust bug. I did just that with my 67 MGB. The body was too far gone to repair. I had a estimate of $3500 just for the labor to weld in the new panels I would provide. A new Heritage Body (made from original jigs) costs around $9k - but I bought a rust free body from Ca and am transferring all my good parts to the good body after I painted it. Actually, my 240D may be one that would benefit from your suggestion/question. My rockers ook good but I suspect the inside of the rockers are rusting. Same for the floors - I have patched the worst parts but there are all kinds of minir areas thatcan get real bad, real fast. Other than the rockers and floors my 240D is excellent. But bad rockers is a killer.If I had a 84 240D with a bad engine/tranny I could easily transfer my mechanicals and interior - as always, price is the driving factor. But if you;re considering sending them to the scrap pile and getting maybe $50 at most for one, I would think you could sell them for $500-$1000 and everybody wins.

Re: [MBZ] Hello Seattle!!
I just now found Aurora's website: www.auroraaw.com They're not open on weekends, but they do appear to have a wagon. I've used Aurora myself a few times. (Tranny for 450 SL, various 560 SL bits, some stuff for the 240D I sold.) Not inexpensive, and a surprisingly small outfit, but usually very helpful. They'll ship. Not being open on weekends sometimes hurts their utility to me. Anybody needs a 107 SL hardtop they're your guys. (I sort of have an extra, they laughed when I offered it to them.) So I take it that welding the bearing race didn't help? What's that, you didn't? Lack of tools you say? Tsk, tsk... Eine schonde. -- Jim

Has anyone replaced the stock relay and glow plugs with the aftermarket Bosch set-up? I purchased a kit from Rusty but the instructions are describing a series installation where my car has a parallel setup. I want to know if this is an issue or just proceed according to the kit instructions? It's simple electricity, so far as the plug wiring goes. I'd just say follow the instructions. What you take out might not match what they're talking about, but what you end up with should match. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] Hello Seattle!!
Well, I'd need to first press the hub out of the bearing--no easy task. I don't have any arbors that are the correct size and strength to pull this off with any confidence. Then I'd have to torch the offending bits out of the center. Then run the beads...then...hey, life's too short for this shit. In retrospect, I should've just bit the bullet and dropped the car off, and let someone else fret and fuss with it. I have a feeling this is one of life's little lessons that I won't learn--repeat offender, here.

That's pretty much where you are already. Shouldn't need any heat until it's time to put on the beads, nor any fine tools until it's time to try to put in the new bearing. I love it when that approach pans out. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] Hello Seattle!!
BFH and I go wayy back. But, he can't help much in this instance. Due to the design of this silly thing, there's no way to support the front of the carrier without destroying the backing plate. And, there's simply not enough room or purchase area to support it from the backside, either. Ma Benz wanted you to use their tools and no others. Reinhard says his boyz use a slide hammer to pull the hub, then the bearing, while it's on the car. This job really is set up to do in situ--my bad.

Re: [MBZ] Beckerpod
Well, it's done. The Becker Europa Cassette (599) is now non-cassette, and has a front panel USB charging jack, coax power plug, and stereo input jack. Not quite as pretty as I'd envisioned, but definitely good enough. When you plug into the power jack the radio turns off, including the dial light, enabling the stereo input. My wife is trying it out today. (CD player, not iPod yet.) Details, including schematic and photographs, are located at the end of: http://userweb.windwireless.net/~jimc/cwlog.html -- Jim
[MBZ] Moggery
Though it's down due to a shattered wheel bearing (I hope!) I'm always on the lookout for accessories on my most-wanted list. Such as: a military dump trailer! Found an ad for one for $300, very rough. Pintle hitch, 1-axle dualie. Going to go see it this afternoon. Supposed to have a working self-contained hydraulic system, except that the gas motor is dead. (PO says you can dump it, empty, by driving the shaft with a drill.) Comes complete with a load of rocks and crap in it! What a deal. -- Jim

The only thing I'd quibble about would be the placement of the connectors on the panel -- a better arrangement would make it look more professional. Some labeling would help, too.
