Not if they've got molded corners, unless you're supposed to cut a few inches
out of the back seals, top and bottom.
Until I saw the eBay pic, I was thinking it was just a roll of door gasket

$122 for a set of used door seals out of a 30 year old car?
I don't think so.
OTOH, the front seals are $80each new, and you'd have to call Rusty for

Does the W123 have electronics in the flasher, too?
I don't think so. The switch contains the flasher in
the 114/115, as does the early 107 (etc.) 'candy bar'
flasher switch. The smaller red rocker switch does
not contain the flasher.

Don't be confused. As for the flasher's location, let
me tell you I don't know. (Gotta imagine Tevye
saying that there.)
But a 14 head is not a conviction. All of my 603s have or have had
14 heads. My original SDL was the best running of all and had over
400K on the 14 head. The last time this came up, the general
discussion was that if the 14 head survived this long, it would
probably live out its life.
utilized as a gasoline additive for its oxygen content and octane rating

One of the reasons it was added was to add oxygen to the fuel to achieve
reduced CO emission. I don't know how it might affect octane rating, which is
an indicator of resistance to pre-ignition.

was not as deep (tall). That one worked We'll test its reliability in the
