Re: [MBZ] Key Holder W124

There seemed to be different quality of replacement key heads. The first ones I got from Q were junk. The later ones were good, and the ones for cars I still have are still in service. Some had a slot, and you just slid the key in. Others had a cover, so you slid the key in and then

Gently heat the rubber key holder to make it flexible and hopefully just a micrometer larger. Stick key in freezer to hopefully make it a micrometer smaller. Well, ok, stick the key in the freezer the night before, but still. Then slowly work it into the seat. On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 3:59 PM,

Just braze on a 3/8" washer. Of go to the maker lab and laser cut your own design to weld on. 14 ga is about right, Dimitri via Mercedes November 30, 2017 at 4:41 PM I was actually thinking about welding a piece of steel to the key. I had one of those plastic

Re: [MBZ] Key Holder W124

I have one with big washer welded to the key. Rusty said these key heads are problematic, BTW-I have a whole box of 123 blanks that I bought from a locksmith in Maine. If you need one, let me know off list. Dwight Giles Jr. Wickford RI On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 5:41 PM, Dimitri via Mercedes

I did both, welded a washer on to one and made one from maple I think for another. The wooden one is what I would do given my druthers. Glue the key to the new head with JB Weld. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 1:10 PM, Randy Bennell via

Re: [MBZ] Key Holder W124

Not sure who, maybe Jim C, but someone suggested brazing a washer onto the key. I also believe that Wilton once posted a photo of a nice one he made up with a walnut end on the key in place of the rubber part. My own experience is that the rubber ones do not last all that long so I have given
