Re: [MBZ] alternator bolt?
Sorry -- I didn't word my request properly --- I have a new MB bolt for the upper adjustment bolt (with the star) but I need a new lower most bolt.That's the one I need the size for.

Our '82 240D engine, which Kaleb has now, did not have it. Craig It is interesting it is a 110 part number. I never saw one on a 110 or even a /8, but i did not see under the hood of many /8s and never owned one. I've only seen the rack and pinion adjuster on 123s. I suppose it is possible that the last few months of production of 110s and 111s may have it on. My newest 110 was made in Sept, 1965, and it has the the thin threaded rod with the clamp nut/bracket. I know the 110s originally came out with a stamped steel alt mount and those broke. Mine broke in about 1973 or 4. About a year after I got the car. I put a generator on from a older car. end of problems. By the 123, they used the cast iron alt mount, and i've never seen one of those break in the first 300,000 miles. ___ 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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

At least it lines up that way on my cars. ___ 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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
