Re: [MBZ] Brake Light on (was Best Axle Choice)

Try taking the switch out. The brake fluid probably won't leak. See if the switch will cause the light to light up with it connected and grounded to the cylinder or other good ground. If so then the switch is bad. If not then the piston is probably not centered. Try to get a look into the hole

I'll give $50. The rt front blinker is also missing along with the drivers window broken. Now that I think about it she needs to pay me $100 to haul it off. The dept of pub works has told her to get rid of it. The writing is on the window if not the wall. Manfred Curley McLain via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Vintage microcars

I like the Messerschmitt better myself. It had more power and even came in a 4 wheel version in the later 500 model. Take a look at the speed record setting one in the link below. A speed demon able to do 66.5 mph!. Wish I had that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Kabinenroller On

If you really like micro cars you need to take time for a trip to the Micro Car Museum in Madison Ga. We went there a few years ago when my granddaughter was 6. She absolutely loved all those small cars and wanted to sit in all of them. Unfortunately that was not allowed which was a great disap

If you take a really close look at the first picture you will see that that is exactly the number on the side of it. Also has a number 717 400 00 049 or possibly 048. I think the number 717 400 is one that is on the 5 speed getrags. At least that's what I saw in looking around on other sites.

Re: [MBZ] physix problemz

That would depend on how it was done. If your teleportation machine transplaces the same volume of air in the one place with you at your location then there is a lot less of a problem. The pressure differential in the air can be taken care of by transporting the full contents of a cylinder from
