[MBZ] Still Trying To Steer!
Has anyone done a rebuild on a 116/123 steering box? Does it take lotsa special tools? We really need some advice!!

Re: [MBZ] 380SL chain tensioner
Peter -
There is a drilling jig that one must use to keep the holes in the proper
alignment when machining for the inserts on these engines. What makes the
job more difficult is the alloy with the silicon. It makes for a good
wearing surface but it is really tough on drills and taps as well. Timeserts
are also available in stainless, I'm not sure what MB calls for in this
application. An even more superior insert is the Keensert. We use these a
great deal on the parts we design for spacecraft, but the downside is more
machining costs, more space around the hole for the flange, and of course
cost.
Barry
What you describe {Threads not perpendicular to the milled
surface} would be a night mare to repair, requiring a threaded insert.
Our shop is a foundry and machine shop. We pour many aluminum
castings and machine them.
Many of the aerospace parts have the threads helicoiled.
Some are helicoiled because the are serviced in the field. The
Helicoil, having a stainless steel thread makes a superior joint
in all ways.
Many parts have repair procedures to salvage damaged threads.

Re: [MBZ] first impressions on snow leopard
since Apple didn't release OSX v10.6 (or insert name of non-sequential kitty here) until Aug 28th, it's not likely Elder Sons GF even has that OS unless she's since bought the upgrade. people i know who've been using it since it was in Development Release seem to like the latest OSX better than what preceded it, but from what i know after having worked there i'd be inclined to wait a bit and let the Applehead flock Beta-test it for a bit before jumping into the sheep-pen. cheers! e R A Bennell wrote: Elder son's girlfriend just (maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago) got a new Mac laptop to replace her existing 4 or 5 year old one and is really not all that happy with it.
