Re: [MBZ] Not much love for '60 or '71 vintage Fiats

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

During the 1940s-50s a neighbor in a student trailer park had a little Italian 
sports car which had no problems other than headgaskets. This was the days when 
torque wrenches were rare and you could pull down a head on nearly any American 
car using two fingers on the end of a breakover handle. I put a head gasket on 
the Italian car using the two finger method but it soon began leaking. I told 
him to find a mechanic or shop that had a torque wrench and that solved his 
problem. It was a valve-in-block engine, so it wasn't a big job. I don't 
remember what make it was but I don't think it was a Fiat although it could 
have been. It was fun to drive and you could keep up with nearly any sports car 
on a winding road with sharp curves. 

There were several other small sports cars that raced together around Florida; 
Triumphs, Morgans, MGs, and others. I don't remember there being any Mercedes 
or other European sports cars in that group, however.

I was thinking 'Isn't 103 the one with the widespread acceptance of missile 
conspiracy theories?
So I looked it up.

This 383 page report rules out the 'we saw it shot down by a missile' claims:
http://ntsb.org/Wiringcargodoor/home_files/SmithAAR103fffallpartapA-N_1.pdf

The AAIB report concludes that the detonation of an improvised explosive device 
led directly to the destruction of the aircraft with the loss of all 259 
persons on board and 11 of the residents of the town  of  Lockerbie.  Five  
recommendations  are  made  of  which  four  concern  flight  recorders,  
including  the  funding  of  a  study  to  devise  methods  of  recording  
violent  positive  and  negative  pressure pulses associated with explosions. 

This Smith Pan Am Flight 103 AAR concludes that there are four reasonable 
alternatives to the bomb explanation based on the subsequent similar accidents 
of United Airlines Flight 811 and Trans World Airlines Flight 800. Of the four 
reasonable alternatives, two can be ruled out with confidence: Missile strike 
and center fuel tank explosion; and two ruled in: Firing of a rather large 
shotgun  and  the  shorted  wiring/forward  cargo  door  rupture/explosive  
decompression/inflight breakup explanation which closely matches the probable 
cause of the United Airlines Flight 811 accident.  Since  the  discovered  
hazards  of  faulty  wiring  or  switch  and  nonplug  cargo  doors currently 
exist in the five hundred early model Boeing 747s in service, further official 
investigation is warranted and urgently needed.

[MBZ] Airline disaster

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

I just watched a superb Smithsonian Channel program on the Lockerbie crash
of Pan Am flight 103. I had mistakenly thought the plane was brought down
by a bomb that a girl had transported on board that was given to her by an
acquaintance. That was not the case, however. Does anyone remember the
situation I am thinking of? A girl as a favor took I believe a transistor
radio or some other electronic equipment from a middle eastern friend to
deliver to someone in the states. Then it blew up in the air. I tried
Googling it but no luck.

Re: [MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Got the PDR tools today. 
Comments:

Kit is reasonably complete, I'll also need some alcohol (empty spray bottle 
included in kit), a glass protector panel to slip inside doors to keep the 
picks from scratching the glass, a heat gun for warming the paint in sharp 
creases, some longer picks in the 30-45" range to reach the bottoms of doors, 
and it would be handy to have an airbag door spreader in addition to the 
plastic door wedge. The kits on AliExpress have instruction booklets, this one 
does not. Plenty of instruction materials on Youtube and I can always buy a DIY 
book or two. 

Space is limited in the tool bag, but you can cram all the non-pick tools in it 
and get it zipped shut if you try hard enough. I even managed to get the LED 
line board and a USB wall plug in there. Has a few pockets in the sides to hold 
the glue tabs, knockdown punches, hand puller etc. If you use the bag you'll 
find yourself digging for whatever is in the bottom of the pile in the bag. 

Everything appears to be cheap but serviceable, except the pick tools aren't 
polished to a mirror finish and the flat bladed picks have a milled texture on 
the sides almost like they're files. Not only would the milled picks take the 
paint off the inside the panel, I bet they'd emboss their texture in thin 
fenders and it would show through the paint. It'll take some 
grinding/sanding/buffing before I'd dare use those things. I haven't tried the 
LED line board so I don't know if it'll stick solidly to a car or not, and I 
suspect the lighting is inadequate. Maybe I should have bought a set with an 
unlit reflecting line board instead.

I guess you get what you pay for. 
Chinese PDR picks usually run around $10ea when you buy a set, and I don't know 
if they're any better than the ones in this kit. I got ten picks included in a 
$125 kit, the nonpick items basically duplicate the $90 sets on AliExpress, and 
similar sets of ten picks run $70-100.

Claris what the ambiguous creature the Apple software maker had as a mascot.  
It was thought to be either a cow or a dog, or both.  Interwebz will show it.

I am not interested in playing the returns game over the interwebz.  Or dealing 
with a FLAPS drone.  I found a good shop that does all manner of rebuilding of 
these components at a few bux over FLAPS pricing.  If there is an issue (never 
had one yet) I can just take it back to the shop and it gets made good, quickly

Fuel additive shouldn't make any difference on oil analysis unless something

lubricity of the fuel doesn't matter so much. I've played with additives off

Re: [MBZ] Not much love for '60 or '71 vintage Fiats

[OK Don via Mercedes]

The original Mini's were a decently engineered and constructed (other than
the Lucas parts) car that was innovative at the time. I've never been close
a 2CV, so have no opinion. The Fiat 500 and 600 of the 60's were more like
the Renault Dauphine - junk cars.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel additive

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

    I've been using Marvel Mystery Oil added to each tank at fill 
up.    I get ~6 fills from the 32oz bottle.  I see a 10% boost in mpg's, 
perfect Oil Analysis reports (new car metal contamination levels) and 
every part I've ever opened up has been pristine internally.  There have 
been times when I couldn't add it and the mpg's dropped by ~10% 
instantly.  A long haul trucker customer of mine convinced me when I 
learned he was adding it during his fill ups and I could see how well 
his Oil Analysis Reports looked.

YMMV,

Re: [MBZ] Diesel additive

I'm using Startron for diesel. It has cleaned the tank from black 
in the primary filter to clear green diesel. You will need one of 
those cough syrup cups to measure the right amount, about 3 tsp 
per fillup 17-19 gal.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel additive

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

ULSD shouldn’t be that big of a deal for the most part.  I use the RedLine to 
be sure there’s plenty of lubricity in the fuel, and it’s inexpensive.  A 12 
ounce bottle is about $10 at Pep Boys, the only local FLAPS that carries it, or 
I’ve also bought gallons in the past which are far less expensive.  That works 
out to about $0.80/tank, a small price to pay.

Because I don’t live in an area with cold temperatures I don’t worry about 
gelling or water in my fuel, so additives that address those issues aren’t 
important to me.

Stanadyne also makes a really good additive similar to RedLine that is good.  I 
figure if the IP guys like the stuff, it’s probably a good idea.

But look at what people pay for Minis and 2CVs.
That reminds me, I saw an aircooled Beetle Convertible a few miles down the 
road from my house this AM with a for sale sign on it. Did they make those in 
Battleship Gray, or did somebody repaint it that color on purpose?

[MBZ] Alternator

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So I ordered some brand of alternator from rock auto which was a new not 
rebuilt one. Installed it, doa. Sending it back for refund. I got to thinking 
again I know I bought the alternator that's on it from autozone. As we 
discussed before it's only putting it about 13.2 volts max when revved up. I 
took it down there and they put it on their machine to test it and of course it 
tests good. He said if it's putting out 13 volts it should be charging good. I 
told him not on these cars as it should be 14+ volts. Needless to say the 
ordered one to swap out.

Inifiniti did a pretty good job of making all this pretty simple to put
back together.  I've got to do a 124 dash next in order to replace a
leaking evap and replace all the dash pods while I'm there.  At this point
I think Infiniti's choice to use motors for all the HVAC doors rather than
vacuum pods was the better choice.

That one isn't available for public bidding, you need to be registered as a 
licensed business or a foreign customer who's going to ship it out of the USA.

You can go through the sign-up process for free, then when you're logged in you can add 
cars to your watchlist. When in your watchlist or on the search screen, you can check 
"no license required" in the top section of the filter options on the left, and 
watch 90% of the cars disappear.

If you try to bid on that car while logged in as an unlicensed bidder, it'll 
take you to a 'find a broker' menu. You should be able to find a company that 
will set you up to bid under their license and process the title paperwork for 
$200-300. Watch out for some of the brokers who list their fee at $100-200, 
then when you go to their web site and read the fine print there are other fees 
not included in the $100 markup.

have to be logged in, which I am not yet as I need to scan my license and

Thanks Larry!

During the take-apart, as each component came out I put all its fasteners
into a small container that I kept with that component.  I spent a lot of
time making sure I could find the spot for each fastener as I put it all
back together.  Re-assembly would have been faster if I had color-marked
each hole like Wilton did when he did the Evapectomy on his 124 300D (Rich
and I found all those markings as we took it apart).  My Harbor Freight
cordless driver was very handy for all the spots that were big enough I
could reach, made work go much faster.

Current _is_ amps!  Heat derives from current through resistance.  
It's a mathematical product, so as either goes up so does the heat. 
 (Amps times amps times resistance, actually.)  Solder is used to 
_seal_ and secure a low-resistance mechanical connection between the 
copper wires, very little current is actually preferentially going 
through the more resistive lead as compared to the copper, unless the 
mechanical joint is poor.  In no way should any properly soldered 
joint get hot enough on its own to melt the solder. If it did, it'd be 
melting the insulation in the area too, maybe even starting a fire.

Way to go Max!  It's always nice to not find extra parts left 
afterwards.  Now look for any unfilled holes left over.  (I ended up 
with a missing fastener used as 1 of the 4 small bolts holding the 
cruise control mechanism against the manifold.)


Also, don't forget to make yourself a note to add coolant before it gets 
cold...


I may have missed any photos of your patient.  And I would have 
forgotten anyway. ;-)  Pls send me a photo of your Little Project if you 
have time.

Today I got all the dash and interior put back together.  AC still needs to be 
emptied of the N2 charge and then charged with R134.  Filled the radiator with 
plain water, connected the battery, and started her up!  All systems go except 
AC.

No extra fasteners left over!

Re: [MBZ] Wonder if red seat covers are still available?

I believe my dad said his leather kit for the SL was around $950, through
Eckler.
