Yeah I talked to him and he was very vague on that. I figured he had already cannibalized it for something else.

Re: [MBZ] 5 speed '86 300E on BAT
I sent the original to him and he said it was completely corroded and not rebuildable so he kept it. There was one in the trunk the PO said he got from eBay that was supposedly ok. It was missing the actuator lever which that guy sent me but it was missing the ball thingie to attach the throttle lever (like 123 and 126 throttle linkage ball/sockets) so I have to bodge something up. The original one I sent him had all that so I was kinda annoyed he sent me this partial thing which made no sense. Whatever. I got some allen screws with big heads I can kinda grind down or turn on my little lathe to make something until I find an actual part. Or find something in the junkyard. So I want to get that put together and see if it will run. I’ll get that done soon and see if it runs. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jan 22, 2024, at 4:38 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes > wrote: > > Did you get it rebuilt already I can’t recall.
