Subject: Re: [MBZ] ON TOPIC rubber doodads that hold the rad in place SNOW
We are not short of snow right now. It could be worse I suppose and may
soon be but there is probably close to a foot on my lawn right now. It
starts out as more but sort of settles over time. We had a bit of a storm
last weekend and the city has ploughed the roads. Unfortunately, they left
me with about 8 feet of hard packed snow in my front sidewalk. Some knee
deep and the rest ankle deep. Had to use the ice chipper to break out
chunks so I could shovel it away. If one shovels immediately after the
plough goes through it is easier. If one waits a bit, then it becomes
pretty solid. The plough went through in the night some time so we did not
shovel right away. By dinner time the next evening, it was a lot like
concrete.

Thanks, Randy - appreciate your effort but I am not holding my breath.
If they look like exhaust hangers and are the same size we will allow
you to replace them with exhaust hangers. You might be able to copy a
part number, however, which is the more elegant solution.
How much snow has fallen since the New Year?

I have noticed that the radiator in my old 300D appears to be held in

by rubber doughnut type things similar to the exhaust hangers.
Mine look a bit the worse for wear. Cracks etc so I should likely get
some
new ones.
Has anyone had one of these fail/ Did it cause much harm?
Are they special items or are they small exhaust hangers?
The rad hoses seem to hold the rad in place reasonably well so I wonder
if
the rad would move back into the fan if the rubber thing let go.
Not an immediate issue as I am not driving the car these cold winter
days
anyway but something I should not forget when spring rolls around.
I also thought I could likely put a nylon zip tie on with the rubber
doodad
temporarily to prevent movement.

firearms issues
