Oops, I forgot it was a gasser, not OM602. Looks like that costs more, but Rock, FCP, and Autohaus are still good places to look. https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/1245009003 ___ 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

Clean with Hydrocloric (muriatic) acid, then use JBWeld (slow, not fast cure) and work it into all the pits making sure that all the low spots are filled. To tall can be removed later. I save the stick and mixing "plate" to monitor the cure without disturbing the real repair. I like using flat sections of clear plastic packaging as the mixing plate. Once the JBWeld is set firm, but ideally before it is fully cured is when I like to use a knife to remove the major extras. Once fully cured, I use a file and/or sandpaper to make it smooth. ___ 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

Hmm, corroded fitting? Make it smooth with emery cloth, or clean and fill till smooth with epoxy?
