Re: [MBZ] Alternator brushes

2014-10-13 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
I've had some luck finding brushes at my Ace Hardware in their "majik drawers" 
of strange hardware. No guarantees, but I know I found brushes for a heater 
blower on a W126 in them once.

Try google search for "alternator starter parts warehouse".  I found a
place that sells individual parts to rebuild Bosch alternators and starters.

Re: [MBZ] Source for Bumper Cover

2014-10-13 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
The few local PnPs we have are pretty worthless when it comes to MBs, 
unfortunately.

Bumper covers come off easily but have a lot of bolts. Door handles are a piece 
of cake. You should be able to pop one off in snout 30 seconds.  Do you need me 
to explain the process?
