Who was the official Marshall approved exhaust maker, Bosal?
The original muffler on the 560 SL was made by Gillet.
I know it was original because of the date code embossed
in it. It was replaced with Rusty's Eberspacher.

direction.

This weekend I replaced brakes on Saturday morning on my 97 volvo 960 185K.
Pulled the rear rotors and they had a large ridge (big enough to get really
close to the caliper). Clearly they were the never turned factory rotors
with 185,000 miles. Pulled em off and drove to my local

All of the parts stores would sell me
new ones, but didn't turn them anymore, even the stores like NAPA that

My local NAPA turns rotors and drums, but the price is a lot higher than in the
1980s. Carquest has a
new for $28.00

I haven't turned rotors for abou 15 years, I just buy new. My luck in the
past with turned rotors was they would warp much easier. Also, I found if
the hub had any rust, you have to clean it really well to get it to seat
properly and true. I'm a bit lazy too, I like working with new clean

I don't turn a rotor to remove an edge. Mount it on a drive wheel and
spin slowly while I use a 4 disc grinder to remove the edge.
That's what I do. Makes getting the calipers on and off
much easier!

How much for front rotors on a 1995 BMW 740IL? Mine are warped and cause
serious vibrations when applying the brakes.

I have been told that rotors from the dealer are always the best.
They somehow last longer than even the most expensive NAPA rotors.
Same with exhaust parts - they just seem to last noticeably longer if
the dealer parts are obtained. This from a guy that replaces a lot of
these parts for a

i would doubt it, but maybe. i've always preferred eberspacher on my cars.
it's just made so german like! as much as the german's disturb me and fail
to entertain, at the end of the day, i have a certain fondness for things
germanic. the rifle at my side as i type this is an 8mm bolt action
