For $60, if it gets lost, stolen or run over, you won't cry. The $5000 fluke, most folks would cry, or at least kick the wall. I've known a few folk with the $5000 fluke, but most were paid for by a Gummit entity. > Dan wrote: To measure voltage (potential) you measure between two

I bought a reman front right caliper for the 1997 S420 from Advance. I believe the brand on it was “Cardone”, which I think is a CarQuest brand. It’s been on the car for a year and is still working. Dan > On Apr 17, 2016, at 12:01 PM, Bob via Mercedes wrote: > >

Nothing as elegant as whatyou would do Dimitri. I cut a piece of (non microwave) tin and bedded it in silicone seal and screwed it in place. Sealed the split grommets with the same silicone seal. How did you patch holes? Sent from my iPhone On Apr 16, 2016, at 11:36 PM, Curly McLain via
