Hey Gary,
If you look up Davids brake parts, how about looking up mine for an '83
240D front calipers, rotors, and hoses; and also the B-2 kit for an '83
300D. Also the prices.
Thanks, Gerry

The BMW Isetta, a little smaller than the Smart For Two, was lots of fun
in the '50s and '60s. It would probably have been more popular and more
widely sold with a bigger engine. One was hit from behind at an
intersection and went airborne; landed across the street on the
sidewalk. Minor in

Hi David,
I"m not sure if they're the same, but I did buy new front calipers for a
W108 (70 280SE) for a reasonable price earlier this year. I think I bought

My 1970 220 (115010) needs front rotors and calipers. It is an early car
(66138) that uses the same calipers etc as were used on 108 and early 115 cars.
Later W115 and most W114 used vented discs and bigger calipers which
interchange to R107/W123/W126.

I agree but unfortunately the anti-alternative crew has always managed to use
the argument that "solar and wind can't replace fossil fuels" which is
completely true but misses the point entirely. Coal is beautiful in that it can
also produce synthetic oil and gasoline. We should be working hard
