Depends on what is involved in RRing the mounts, I am guessing it is
not as simple as the inline engines.
The actual mounts are not that pricey and appear to be run of the mill
hydraulic ones that have been around since the mid 80's.
Anyway it is good of you to volunteer to do the mounts Roger,

That's less than I'd now charge for doing the ones on our
now-sold '76 450SL! Those stupid underhood cats really
really get in the way on those. It took me all weekend
to do them. Ugh.
Rusty gets about $150 for all three including trans mount.

What's the failure mechanism of this rod bender?
Mind you I don't have one (though I nearly did get one

I've fired up the 7kVA FerrUPS, and it works. (Its only
problem is that the fluorescent display was degraded to
near uselessness.)
It draws 10A no-load, which is a lot worse than the 4A
no-load of the 3kVA unit. That's unattractive. However,
both units can eat ratty 240V power and spit out 2x

Gang,
I'm about to put in a new carrier bushing into my W108. From what I've
gathered, it seems pretty straightforward:
-put a jack under the diff to support it
-loosen the carrier bolt and the four mount bolts
-remove the old bushing and replace
