Re: [MBZ] Radio antenna
I need to see if the wire from the knocked-off fuse block goes to the antenna. Could not really tell from the wiring schematic exactly what that block was for and I did not remove the trunk panels to chase the wire. Then I’ll check the other stuff too. But it’s raining now and I’m going to an oyster roast Q later and be drankin some beer. Thanks y’all. --FT Sent from iPhone On Feb 2, 2019, at 7:50 PM, fmiser via Mercedes wrote: >> Buggered wrote: > >> The new antenna doesn’t seem to be pulling in a much better >> signal either, up or down, which I expected it to do.

Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun
Yup. Just chipping away. I’m juggling the logistics of the headliner replacement right now. I just ordered my new reproduction dash pad from the supplier in Turkey, which should arrive in a couple of weeks. I started tearing into the dash yesterday and hope to finish that up today. That way I have the wood out of the dash so I can start refinishing it. I need to drive it over to the headliner guy in the next week or two so he can get an idea of what he’s going to do and can order materials. I have a new MB headliner, but he’ll need some padding and he’s also going to replace the windlace while the car is in the shop, too. Both windshield and rear glass will come out for this, so I’ve got to get seals ordered soon, too. The wife is going in for hip surgery on the 6th of March, so I want to get the car to him before then so he can have it for a week or two to do his stuff while I’m busy doing home health care. Once he’s done I hope to have everything done on my end as far as refinished wood and the dash pad painted so it will begin to come together after that point. -D > On Feb 3, 2019, at 11:36 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > yer makin progress! > > -FT > > On 2/3/19 9:31 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: >> Blog post for yesterday’s work: >> >> http://penoff.com/1965_220SEb_Blog/Entries/2019/2/2_Trunk_Show.html >> >> -D >> >> >> ___ >> http://www.okiebenz.com >> >> To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ >> >> To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: >> http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com >> > -- > --FT > > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun
Sorry to hear about your wife -- not fun times ahead. I self-graduated last weekend to a cane (was hexapod now a tripod) and will see doc on Tuesday, see what my status is. Best wishes for her (and you). The headliner on the SL is also drooping and falling down, I guess when I can get the hardtop off it will be time to reglue it or whatever one does, won't have to send it to a specialty shop. Your expertise will be helpful in that regard, something I can do I expect. It's supposed to be some high-end material on the SL600 I think, it feels kinda dense and rubbery, maybe it is actually fabric of some kind. I also noticed that EVERYTHING in the cabin is covered with leather, no vinyl, it is pretty cool. --FT On 2/3/19 12:05 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Yup. Just chipping away.

Re: [MBZ] Not Benz but beautiful
Yeah it is kinda bland looking, but for stealth mode maybe that is not too bad. Looks kinda like a Ford Probe. The first car I got to regularly drive was my parents' 66 Bonneville, maroon with black interior. That huge barge was very quick, my mom introduced me to full pedal travel in that car! Hit the floor and the other 2 barrels would open up on the 389... I'm sure the Ferrari V-12 is a bit more refined... That cheap class is up to $8100!!! --FT On 2/3/19 10:28 AM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: Generally I love a Ferrari, but this model looks too much like a Japanese car to me.

Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun
I did a writeup for headliner replacement in the BW R129 forum, I believe. I’ll see if I can find it and post the link to you via PM. It’s actually pretty easy to do and not terribly expensive, either. This is wife’s “other” hip - she had her left hip replaced in 2014, I think. It was just a matter of time before this one failed. I don’t mind all the stuff dealing with this. Since I can do a lot of work from home it works out pretty well, as I still take FMLA leave but I do it “intermittently”. That way I can work at least part of the time and not have to worry about exhausting my accrued time. Fortunately, my employer is pretty cool about it. Thanks for the wishes. She’s an old hand at this stuff. I would be freaking out. I haven’t been in a hospital since the 1960s. I’m hoping to keep it that way for a long time. -D > On Feb 3, 2019, at 12:14 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > Sorry to hear about your wife -- not fun times ahead.

Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun
Yup. There’s a guy in Turkey who has been making reproduction dash pads for a number of years now. Only place you can get one. $800 versus over $1600 and 6-8 months to get yours redone by the dash guys in CA. Because of the packing and bulk it costs over $200 to ship one, but it’s still a good deal. I’ve talked to a number of people who have gotten them and they’ve all been really happy with the product. Black only, but it can be painted. I’ll be painting mine dark brown to match the original. He also does some other reproduction stuff, like grille trim, door seals, firewall padding, etc., too. -D > On Feb 3, 2019, at 12:30 PM, Kaleb C.

[MBZ] 87 SDL IP issue
So I decided to fart around with this SDL I picked up a while back that runs like crap, seems like it’s only running on about 4 cylinders. In looking at the IP somebody at some point tried to do delivery valve seals except they did not have he socket. The things were chewed up and I had a hard time getting the socket on them. The #1 delivery valve did not appear to have the copper washer and the spring was broken. The rest of them appeared to be OK as far as no missing parts but all of them were tightened down so much it was difficult to remove them. I did the job using holders from a spare parts IP. When I fired the car up, it’s still running like crap. I loosened each line and determined it seems the issue with with #2. There is no fuel at all coming out of that port out of the IP. I took that valve back apart and everything seemed fine but I went ahead and swapped out the upper barrel with another one and still no fuel coming out of that port. What could be the issue? Maybe they somehow pulled the lower part which has to be oriented a specific way. On several of the holes I did notice little metal flakes probably from slight damage to the threads from over tightening. All the valve holders when back in just fine. I fear I may end up just having to swap the IP.

Re: [MBZ] A Lexus Equivalent
Maybe an LS 400? Supposed to be of a good quality when new and sought after since it was very reliable. They held their value as used cars for many many years. If somebody has taken quality care of one, I would think it may be no worse than a w124. I do not think any japanese cars are going to compare favorably with a W123 for long term reliability. There is a growing collector market for earlier oriental cars. A 1977 Celica is much sought after. There was a 1990 Supra that brought large money at auction this past summer. These are the cars the younger collectors grew up with, are cheap to get into and pretty simple to put back into service. clay monroe > I turned my computer upside down and shook it, but the bookmark for what I'm > looking for didn't fall out. > On Jan 31, 2019, at 4:59 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes > wrote: > > A work associate I have knows our collective love for the older MBs and how > we keep them on the road and so forth.

[MBZ] I’m out of shape
It’s nearly 70 outside and I went as far as I could today with the SDL and need to order parts for other projects in line so I decided to move about a dozen hoods and trunk lids I had outside up against a fence about 10 feet into the barn. Got that job done and still need to move about 2 dozen bumpers. Came back inside and now I feel like I just got done running a marathon or something. I should start working out.

Re: [MBZ] DIY Chrome Plating
I’ll check that out. Really anything short of replating is a temporary fix and even a possible bodge. Fortunately I only really need the upper bumper pieces for the rear and the little trim strips on the rear doors. The rest of the chrome is in pretty good shape. The taillight housings are on the way out, too, but I’ll hold out to find some used ones that are good. They’re pricey but they do pop up form time to time. Since the lenses are melted into the housings the likelihood of removing them for replating without damage is pretty low. There are replacement lenses but they’re pretty lousy quality and quite pricey. The German MB club has commissioned reproduction bumpers for these cars, but they didn’t do the uppers, not sure why. None of this stuff is a major deal, I’m just trying to keep costs to a minimum German eBay has been a great place for finding nice used stuff if I can get the seller to ship to the US. If not Alex and a couple other people I know are helping with transshipments. -D > On Feb 3, 2019, at 3:55 PM, Clay Monroe via Mercedes > wrote: > > Jay Leno and his garage were touting some water based spray on chrome product > that looks good. > > clay monroe > >> I turned my computer upside down and shook it, but the bookmark for what I'm >> looking for didn't fall out. > > > >> On Feb 2, 2019, at 6:09 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes >> wrote: >> >> Advance Auto sells spray cans of chrome paint.

I doubt that Ferrari cares about the fuel consumption standards, but they do care about aerodynamics - less drag = more speed. I still like the 275 GTB/4 the best though.

Re: [MBZ] I’m out of shape
I just don’t see how you function around there. I’m no OCD maniac about my garage, but holy moley, I could never work in that nightmare. What OK Don says is only half of the problem - you need to put stuff away where it belongs when you’re done with it. Make a list of priorities, like getting your lift set up, or something else major that will help to bring some order to the place. Then get some heavy duty shelving and bins or just boxes and organize your stuff. I have a bunch of plastic containers that are labeled as to what’s in them (in a general sense) and stuff goes in them. They’re pretty vague as far as description, but I know that engine stuff will be in the “engine” box, chassis in the “chassis” and so on. Devote a couple of days/weekends to getting things straightened out and you’ll be amazed at how much easier your (car) life is. And keep them that way. -D > On Feb 3, 2019, at 7:23 PM, Kaleb C.

Pry the back or rear edge of the painted insert. It’s held in with pins. once the tow pins are released, the insert piece slides back and out.

i'd guess the cam lobe is worn off, or more likely the bozo lost the element or something inside. Since he screwed up the pump, my guess is that it will never run right unless you change the IP.

Re: [MBZ] I’m out of shape
Yes, that is the plan. I have a couple of cars I must get done then I do not plan on starting on anything else until I have the shop organized. It will probably involve moving most of the cars out, take everything off of the shelves and throw everything in the middle, then start putting it away in an organized fashion so I can locate new and/or used parts as needed. Then organize the tools. I am really good about keeping things straight once I get it that way. It's just the getting it that way that is the hard part. After this, I will then finish getting the lift done and then should be able to start knocking out cars fairly quickly. What ends up taking a lot of the time is hunting around for where I laid such and such tool, or I know I saw a part I need somewhere but can't remember where. So once that happens, I can start getting cars sold. On 2/3/2019 6:39 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: I just don’t see how you function around there.

Re: [MBZ] I’m out of shape
Even in my little two car garage I have to do a semi-annual “reconciliation” to keep things in order. Toss out old unused stuff, make room for new stuff, send some things to deep storage. And I always finish my daily work by cleaning and putting away my tools. That way they’re always where I look for them. -D > On Feb 3, 2019, at 8:27 PM, Kaleb C.

[MBZ] Whazzit? (1980 240D)
I finally got the steering lock in the 240D today. One question, should I have put the key lock and the kryptonite security cover on the steering lock before I put it in? I was thinking that the key lock could be removed with the steering lock in place, so the steering lock should go in first, then the key lock, and then the kryptonite cover. Here is my whazzit question: My other question is about mounting the plate under the dash on the driver side. I was thinking it mounted with 2 8mm head screws to the underside of the dash. (See picture) Its been over 10 years since I took it out to cut out the original steering lock, so I forgot. Not a big deal, but I'd like to put it back where it goes, if I can. I am not sure if it goes up to the left or to the right of the steering column. There is a CC amp to put in to, and now that I am writing this, I think that plate attached to the CC amp, and then the CC bolts up under the dash somewhere. I need to find a bulb holder for the LF turn signal, two turn signal bulbs, a headlight, a side marker light bulb and get the brake hoses on, then it should be ready to be inspected by the polzei and then, with a bond, I should be able to get it titled and on the road finally! ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
[MBZ] Bulb Source
For what it’s worth, I’ve been buying bulbs from these guys for a while and have been very pleased with the selection and prompt shipping. Most of what they sell is CEC brand bulbs, but if you buy bulbs from places like the Island of Large Wimmen that’s what you’re getting. I haven’t found that there is a quality issue with them myself. http://www.bulbtown.com For example, the 64132 halogen bulb that’s used as a running light on the W210 chassis cars is around $6-$8/each from other suppliers. They’re under $3.00/each from Bulbtown. The last pair of these I bought a year or two ago from the IoLW was over $10 and they were CEC brand. The finnie uses a startling number of little 2W bayonet bulbs in the dash, easily 8-10 in the instrument cluster alone, and 15 of them cost me under $5. -D ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] Marshall
Scrolling thru available titles on Prime on my Firestick I come across Night of the Living Dead. I see they also have a colorized version of this so out of curiosity I start playing it. Saw Marshall listed in the opening credits. Maybe I will go back and watch it later as its been years since I have seen that. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Bulb Source
I was just looking at bubs at autohausaz, and crockauto. Both are pennies for small bubs, and $4xx for a headlight at crockauto. Autohaus has the gear shift boot, and so far I have not found that at crockauto. You get choices of sylvania, wagner, hella etc. at crock, and only good yuro bubs at AZ. I am buying mostly Hella. big wimmin is overpriced for everything. I have not found a buy there for a couple years. Fleabay is getting bad too for prices and shipping.

Re: [MBZ] I’m out of shape
Kaleb, One of the best investments I ever made was to purchase 240 ft. of 12 ft tall x 42 inch wide pallet racking and set it up with the first row of shelves 48 inches off the ground, so there was room for large heavy items [whole engines, etc.] Second best investment was a rolling warehouse ladder to access the upper shelves... Cleared a huge amount of floor space and let me organize things so I could find them. Something on that order might work well for you also. If you look around, there will be a company that sells used pallet rack, or an bankrupt auction of a warehouse, etc...

[MBZ] pallet rack: wuz: I’m out of shape
auctions will be cheaper for pallet rack. if you can find the kind with a lip for 2x lumber, that is great for boxes and smaller stuff. You put in 2Xs, the top of them is level with the top of the pallet rack rail. You can still stack pallets on them. The guys that resell used pallet rack get big bucks. Way better to buy it direct for the owner, and better yet at auction.

Re: [MBZ] pallet rack: wuz: I’m out of shape
The stuff I bought has a heavy gauge wire inserts that make up the "shelves". setup was easy, and the wire inserts will hold boxes, or pallets, or about anything. Previously, I had racks with 2x4's and it took forever to set up.. Wire is the way to go for ease.
