I phoned Beissbarth ( the manufacturer of the spreader bar) and learned
that their price is appx. $ 199 for the spreader bar.
It has an MB number of 900 589 012700.
This may be a rather simple item to make for a fraction of the cost. I

Is the spreader bar and locking/centering screw necessary on 123 front ends?
If so, at which points on the wheels are the spreader bars placed?

Yeah, seems we get some of these dreamers over here as well. Do they really
get 5 litres/100kmhs Marshall, I'll let you convert it to your language?
I would think the best 2.5litre CDI engines don't get
5 litres is about 169 fluid ounces.
A US gallon is 128 ounces.
100km is 62.13 miles.
47mpg with a 2.5 automatic isn't going to be possible, even if you
cruise at 60kph.

I'm as frugal as the next guy but for $200 I'd buy one. Even at my pay rate 8
hours of fiddling with making something thats not exactly right would buy one...
Never mind the fact that the only reason I'd buy one is to haul it to an
alignment shop that doesn't have one so they can do the job
