[MBZ] 123 wheel cover

2014-05-14 Thread WILTON
I KNEW I shoulda saved those 3 or 4 123 wheel covers I finally laid out by the

Now, does anybody have one I may buy?  'Lost one off my MB trailer.  14

Re: [MBZ] Why U no Turnz?!

2014-05-14 Thread clay
I am thinking we should all be removing the tumblers on a regular basis and 
give them a huge cleaning up.  Would keep our cars from locking us out.

Max,  I had the option to use the spray stuff or a smaller liquid bottle to 
inject the stuff.  Poking the key in and jiggling for a few minutes every day 
served to help the goo flow over parts.  The gunk coming out got blacker and 
thicker each day.  Five days in, I used the finish sander to assist the gunk.

The key was fully inserted into the tumbler and I placed the sander head on the 
key head.  I applied a variety of pressures to the key and moved it around the 
cardinal points to make sure every booger let loose.  First attempt did not 
make it work, so I zapped it  a few more times until the key decided to turn.

 My 123 lock was sticky so I pulled the cylinder and used a non-matching
 loaner cylinder until the matching one arrived (several weeks).  In that
 car part of the problem was a sticky steering wheel lock mechanism, which
 improved with lubrication.
 
 My 126 lock cylinder failed to the point I could never turn the key to
 remove the cylinder.  That one had to be sawed off (from below) and the
 entire mechanism (the whole steering wheel lock) replaced.
 
 After these experiences, I remove a failing cylinder at the first sign of
 trouble.
 
 Your older setup may be totally different, though.

 As Randy mentioned, there is a less-expensive approach. I, however, would
 buy a new lock.

yes, I am pretty sure I was oblivious to your great knowledge and wisdom at 
that point.  I was afraid that I would be emasculated by following the advice 
so quickly.

Re: [MBZ] Why U no Turnz?!

Another minor solution I undertook today was to plug the exhaust leak at the 
cross member.  Frosch has the H cross pipe and my indy told me the driver side 
had a leak that could be patched with a welder.  I had seen emissions coming 
out of the underside of that hole and figured it would be simple.  Today I bit 
the bullet and hit Meineke.  Manager got me right on the lift and had the 
welder dude drop a bead all the way around.  Job done, manager give it to me as 
a freebie.  Welder dude pointed out passenger side had small leak and the pipe 
weld was also failing.  Now I have to order a full pipe set from the Sexy 
Chowda King

 If so, and if Wilton only needs or wants one or two, I would love to have a
