Re: [MBZ] Trunk emblems

Not the same on 124 wagon.   3 holes.  3 little plastic anchors in the 
tailgate.  3 pins on the star.

Not the same on a 201, the parts car doesn't have the emblem but
does have three little holes.  Probably speed nuts.

Re: [MBZ] Fantastic Finnie Fun!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Thanks!

I am pleased. Can’t wait to get the rest of the interior sorted, should be done 
this week. I need to cut out a piece of Masonite for the parcel shelf, then I 
can get the back seat installed, then the windlace and B pillar covers and I’m 
done.

Then I’m going to start in on the front suspension and replace the springs and 
sway bar bushings.

Indeed could be a good deal.  There are lots of folks around here that buy

same type of people that aren't good with computers.

I bought my 7 year old wagon with 18k miles from such a person.

Definitely a thing to do in the shade. while you could do it in the sun, 
keeping the lube from evaporating will be tough. It will look all streaky when

Re: [MBZ] Trunk emblems

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

1.) Open trunk

2.) Lean in and look at interior side of trunk lid behind where trunk tristar 
is located, see cutout in metal

3.) With ratchet, extension and 13mm socket, unscrew nut form threaded stud on 
back of tristar

4.) remove tristar from trunk lid.

Process is literally the same over many, many model years.

[MBZ] Trunk emblems

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

Anybody know how easy it is to remove a W123 trunk emblem without breaking it?  
(The star.)  I've got one on the parts car in the woods, and I think it would 
look perfect lashed to the expanded metal radiator grille on the Mazcedes.

Buy one south of the Mason-Dixon Line and you’ll have a really nice car. Both

either one I’ll look for another to replace it.

You can find a really nice one down this way for under $4k, typically less.

Re: [MBZ] Crazy Day with the Finnie - Success!!!

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Congrats!    Glad it worked out.

A running car is better than a garage queen!

Good work!


Be aware!  When judging concours, I found that the underside reveals 
much.  Like the gullwing with a really cruddy underside, wrong exhaust 
clamps, overspray, etc.  I deducted all the points I could, but it was 
still not enough.


Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote on 3/17/19 9:14 AM:

Just finished up my fuel pump replacement. Here’s the deal:

Jaime was kind enough to refer me to a text he had seen from Pieter Van Rossum, 
a W113 guy, where he had replaced the stock “tall” fuel pump with a generic 
Carter pump.

I got a Carter pump the same day from the Island of Large Wimmen for $102.00. A 
pittance compared to the minimum of $700 or so in the market for rebuilt or 
used stock fuel pumps. I spent a fair amount of time yesterday adapting the 
mounting and getting the lines and fittings set up. They actually worked out 
well, as you’ll see. It was also a good opportunity to replace all of the old 
hoses at the tank and pump while I was there. Not fun, but not too bad of a job 
despite how much I hate working around gasoline.

Since I had the instrument cluster out of the car for the dash pad replacement, 
I couldn’t start the engine yesterday as the oil pressure gauge and capillary 
tube for the coolant temperature gauge were both disconnected. I did turn 
everything on last night and it ran and made pressure, no leaks. Loud compared 
to the stock pump, but hey, for $100 I’ll live with it.

Got the gauges connected this morning and fired it up. Success! I haven’t taken 
the car on the road yet, but I suspect it should be fine. More as I know it.

As icing on the cake, as I was collecting all the parts together for the old 
pump I found the bulk of the “missing” brush spring. I might be able to reuse 
it after bending a new end on the remains of the spring. Woo-hoo!

Here’s a link to a lousy cell phone photo. The return line is hanging in the 
foreground with a hose clamp on it:

http://penoff.com/photo_dump.html#0

Carter P4601HP inline electric pump - $102.00
2” PVC rubber coupling - $4.00
3 - Corner braces - $4.00
6 - M5 nuts, washers - $2.00
Miscellaneous hose, clamps, crimp connectors, etc - stock

I’ll have a far more detailed update in my blog probably tonight. I gotta get 
back to finishing up the dash….

Re: [MBZ] M1 oel deals?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I'm not sure I 100% believe it. My 2010 Dodge RAM certainly doesn't do as well 
with Valvoline as it does with M1. Around 5,000 miles the engine starts to tick 
on startup, change the oil, tick goes away. With M1 tick goes away and stays 
away. 8,000 miles in now on M1, no tick.
I'd gone with Valvoline because its the only approved oil for Angie's Golf that 
you can buy at Autozone but I'm under impressed...I can't use the same 
formulation the VW gets, thats 5w40, the RAM wants 5w20...

Well done. That little fuel pump job- up would have completely discourage 67% 
of all Mercedes owners.

[MBZ] Clay Bar-ing

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

Since I got a polite request from Mr. hangover to take him to work this 
morning, I was awake kinda early so when I got home I washed my truck. I 
figured since I had washed it, I would take the Claybar to It since I haven’t 
shown my truck any love lately.
So it’s about 65° right now but the sun is brutal. This is Arizona after all, 
so the dark surface of the truck is hot. Should I be doing the clay bar when 
the service is hot? Do I need to drive up to the park and find some shade? This 
damn truck is too big to fit into my mid ‘60s converted carport into a garage.

Re: [MBZ] M1 oel deals?

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

This month's deal at Advance is 5qts of M1, a M1 filter, and a roll of blue 
shop towels for $33.
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/o/mobil-oil

It's a good deal if you have a use for a couple of M1 filters. I put the 
filters in my Cruze and a friend's Nissan. 

The Spring rebates haven't started yet, but there's a yearlong rebate for $10 a 
gallon on Turbo Diesel Truck and Delvac 1. I might check out the 5 gallon pail 
prices on D1 at the local oil distributor. 

https://mobiloil.com/en/promotion/mobil-promotions/40-off-mobil-delvac

In a gun forum, somebody posted what he thought was a good deal on low 
viscosity synthetic at WalMart and a guy from Lyden Oil said "I pay $6 a gallon 
for that stuff", so I might pay them a visit next month and see what they'll 
sell of 5 gallon pail of Shell or Gulf bulk synthetic for.

Re: [MBZ] Crazy Day with the Finnie - Success!!!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Just finished up my fuel pump replacement. Here’s the deal:

Jaime was kind enough to refer me to a text he had seen from Pieter Van Rossum, 
a W113 guy, where he had replaced the stock “tall” fuel pump with a generic 
Carter pump.

I got a Carter pump the same day from the Island of Large Wimmen for $102.00. A 
pittance compared to the minimum of $700 or so in the market for rebuilt or 
used stock fuel pumps. I spent a fair amount of time yesterday adapting the 
mounting and getting the lines and fittings set up. They actually worked out 
well, as you’ll see. It was also a good opportunity to replace all of the old 
hoses at the tank and pump while I was there. Not fun, but not too bad of a job 
despite how much I hate working around gasoline.

Since I had the instrument cluster out of the car for the dash pad replacement, 
I couldn’t start the engine yesterday as the oil pressure gauge and capillary 
tube for the coolant temperature gauge were both disconnected. I did turn 
everything on last night and it ran and made pressure, no leaks. Loud compared 
to the stock pump, but hey, for $100 I’ll live with it.

Got the gauges connected this morning and fired it up. Success! I haven’t taken 
the car on the road yet, but I suspect it should be fine. More as I know it.

As icing on the cake, as I was collecting all the parts together for the old 
pump I found the bulk of the “missing” brush spring. I might be able to reuse 
it after bending a new end on the remains of the spring. Woo-hoo!

Here’s a link to a lousy cell phone photo. The return line is hanging in the 
foreground with a hose clamp on it:

http://penoff.com/photo_dump.html#0

Carter P4601HP inline electric pump - $102.00
2” PVC rubber coupling - $4.00
3 - Corner braces - $4.00
6 - M5 nuts, washers - $2.00
Miscellaneous hose, clamps, crimp connectors, etc - stock

I’ll have a far more detailed update in my blog probably tonight. I gotta get 
back to finishing up the dash….

Re: [MBZ] Finnie Update

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

They won’t have a choice once I own the property. Only the County will have a 
say on what would go there. It’s zoned as “agricultural land”, so I could graze 
cattle there if I wanted. It’s in a flood plain, so that would have to be dealt 
with.

I really, really doubt the HOA will go for it - heck, I’m vice president, but I 
wouldn’t be able to vote on it if it ever gets to that point.

Funny that you mention that - I approached the HOA about buying the property 
behind my lot that is a part of the community park. It’s covered in heavy 
growth and has never been used as a park - it’s pretty inaccessible from the 
park itself. I’m right near the corner of the property, so it would just carve

If I could buy it I would probably build a workshop on the property….
