I had one of the Bosch batteries you describe in my 82 300SD. Worked great, fit perfectly, and lasted a long time. Still probably made in Milwaukee by Johnson Controls like darned near every other battery is, but it did the job. Glad it worked out for you! Dan On Dec 31, 2013, at 11:49 AM,

My first car was a 1975 Civic with gummy belt retractors and nonfunctional inertial locks. I took them apart, don't remember what I cleaned all the crap out of them with, but when I was done the drums and ratchets were clean and the inertial weights swung freely. Belts worked like new after that.
