Here's a link for the exact part you need; went straight to it.

http://catalog.peachparts.com/ShopByVehicle.epc?q=1986-Mercedes--Benz-300sdl-Diesel--Injection&yearid=1986%40%401986&makeid=63%40%40MERCEDES+BENZ%40%40X&modelid=6212%3AMBC|1512%3AED|10000100%40%40300SDL&catid=240706%40%40Diesel+Injection&subcatid=242449@@Delivery+Valve+O-Ring&mode=PA

The store is accessed through the "Buy parts --> fastlane" link at the very top of every page on the site. Or you can call or email Phil with specific requests for things that aren't in the catalog.

There are other online shops out there (in the past I have used *********************** but lately their site has gotten almost unusably clunky) -- but as a matter of forum courtesy we try to restrict our recommendations to the dealership or to Phil first and foremost, since it is giving support back to our supporters. I can't remember if it's a forum rule or just a commonly-known courtesy thing, but either way -- I'd start there.
