Happy you survived, sad your E320 took such a big hit. The idiot behind you is
going to be paying for this boo boo for a long time.
I suggest a much stouter truck/tank for future driving.

I used them to acquire a few things a number of years ago. Good pricing, but
it is essentially just a clearing house for the major parts distributors.

Blue is closer to sunlight. Morning sun light. Afternoon goes redder. Humans
use the blue light to be more awake. Blue light, such as video, florescent,

Not really. I picked up a set at PnP the other day. That, the switches, and a
wire harness/ECU. I am thinking I would use the harness as a template for my
own wire rebuild one day.
The valve covers off a M17 1973 were oxidized, and the insides were nasty.

The Radio Shack used to carry some 12v large LED lamps. I bet these would fit
fine in the cluster lamp holes and give omni directional light. You would need
to fake up your own wire system maybe
