Re: [MBZ] gift guide

I always heard great things about Mustang seats when I had my Virago. The stock seat would give you monkey butt in minutes. I bit the bullet and bought a Mustang seat and it was the best thing I ever bought for that bike. Dan Sent from my iPad > On Nov 22, 2016, at 12:26 AM, clay via Mercedes

I had a set on my 1970 280S, and they were really lousy as far as function was concerned. They did look nice, however. Dan Sent from my iPad > On Nov 17, 2016, at 3:04 PM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes > wrote: > > I'd like a set of W108 euro lights and fogs for my

Re: [MBZ] Flat breather hose.

Maybe I'm remembering this from my 300SD rather than my 300TD. MB has a crappy drawing that in no way resembles this part (and they want $60 list for it, too.) Thanks! Dan Sent from my iPad > On Nov 17, 2016, at 2:43 PM, Fred Moir via Mercedes > wrote: > >

Yes, it's an affliction, for sure. I suffered from this earlier in life, it went into remission, and now I have it full on. Kleb's such a good guy for offering. Unfortunately, that price does not include a title. And it shakes when starts, too. Dan going retro diesel Sent from my iPad > On

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: Don't Miss AutohausAZ's Best 2016 Prices

I posted the part number for the M119 buffers which appear to be identical and list for $6/each from Mercedes yesterday. I would not pay $24 for the "real" buffers. I'm trying to find one of the "flat" breather tubes that they used to sell as a retrofit. Apparently they didn't go over well or

I like the idea of having the underground locator service guys come and look. They would only identify utility lines, however, so they might not mark anything else. Dan Sent from my iPad > On Nov 17, 2016, at 9:46 AM, MG via Mercedes wrote: > > One of those lan

Re: [MBZ] Today's W123 Fun

Nothing to report from yesterday in the way of work. My house painter called at 8:00 am and said his crew was on their way (we hadn't scheduled a start date yet) so when I got home I had to spend my time removing all the exterior fixtures as I had promised to do before they started. After that
