FWIW, when I last ordered front pads for my '79 300SD (WDB11612012010864) with
Bendix calipers, Tom Hanson of the Classic Centre gave me 001-420-78-20
($42 before discount) as the correct number, and they did fit (tight!).

Believe it or not, the spindle nut covers for the wiper arms are optional. I
can get you a part number, they’re still available for a couple of bucks apiece.

I'd been thinking that maybe your car no longer had the correct
calipers, but I think I forgot to say it.

I had the same problem with my '79 300SD when I replaced the front calipers. I
ended up filing part of the caliper body for clearance. I actually now don't
remember if the pads didn't fit, or maybe it was the caliper that didn't quite
fit the bracket without bumping into something.

I have done similar. Right now I am fighting front brake
I actually won't be doing the belt idler tomorrow, because the part that's
actually noisy is the belt tensioner and I mistakenly ordered the idler pulley.
Grumble.
The belt itself looks OK but thinking since I need to make another order
anyway, maybe just replace it and throw the old one in
Those spindle nut covers snap on don’t always hold well. A new one from a

Changed oil in the E500 today. Used the HF oil sucker. Sure wish I'd bought one
of those a long time ago. I presume the filters are packaged for multiple
applications and it's normal to have an extra O-ring in the package.
Also installed new wiper blades. Couldn't figure out the passenger side

One was a new set of LEDs for the right taillight brake light. Most of the

You replace the fuse lately? A bit of deoxit on the fuse

My driving to and from Albuquerque
My driving to and from Albuquerque for class this summer has been
complicated by turn signals not working when it is hot (they have
worked just fine first thing in the morning when it is cool).
I took the console apart, took out the flasher (which is electronic) and
put Deoxit D100 contact

Shirley wanted to go, so I got her and her wheelchair in the car and took
off for Smith's grocery at St. Michael's and Pacheco. It worked fine all
