I went to the PnP today and scored a little bit. I got calipers off a 560SEL, as well as the main brake line from the underside of the car. I had to cut out the line, but left the connections so that I might be able to separate them and install with ease. It is all boogered up at the moment..
The 300SD gave up a set of new motor mounts and newer calipers with full pads. I think I should install the new caliper set and maybe rebuild the other. From looking at a plethora of parts sources, the SD uses a 123# part, where the SEL was a 126#. They look exactly the same based on what I pulled off, but for the filth. Are they the same? Moss does not grow on me much. I got a delivery of brand new motor mounts yesterday. Pads should be here by Monday, the E brake shoes came today. clay > On Oct 20, 2016, at 12:53 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > SAE unions and tubing nuts and flares are double flares. > Metric unions, tubing nuts and flares are bubble flares. > > On old American iron, I use SAE and double flares. > On new American iron, and Mercedes I use bubble flares. > > SAE stuff. > > https://www.amazon.com/AGS-Steel-Tube-16-24-BLF11B/dp/B00U1MVUN8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1476992693&sr=8-5&keywords=double+flare+nuts+and+unions > > https://www.amazon.com/Inverted-Flare-Brake-Union-threads/dp/B01KNGVB6W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1476992832&sr=8-3&keywords=Inverted+Flare+Union > > Metric stuff. > > https://www.amazon.com/Bubble-Flare-Metric-Thread-276010/dp/B004QS2ZDW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1476992925&sr=8-2&keywords=bubble+flare+nut > > https://www.amazon.com/Bubble-Flare-Brake-Union-276000/dp/B006HI66XY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1476992862&sr=8-2&keywords=bubble+flare+union > > Both work with 3/16" (5mm) lines. > > This is the tool I use, and it rocks. > > https://www.amazon.com/Eastwood-25304-Professional-Tubing-Flaring/dp/B002QBRHD4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476993131&sr=8-1&keywords=eastwood+flare+tool > > Rick > > _______________________________________ > http://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 > _______________________________________ http://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
