Re: [MBZ] 240D Turn signal stalk
You want to file the detents or depressions in order to once again allow the pin to nestle in place without popping out. And go easy! The difference between "stays in the detent now" and "won't come out of the detent now" is only a stroke or two of the file. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to 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

Can the turn signal stalk on a 78 240D be repaired-as in, is it eligible to have the detents filed?

And why do you want to file them? What should this repair? I am pretty sure my 1978 W123 turn signal assembly is exactly the same as the 1985 W123.
