But again highly unusual and unlikely.
Also examine the races for any signs of scoring of course.

Well, I'm going to give it a try. I have to learn sometime. Hopefully this isn't the last W126 I own. I just want to make sure I have everything here when I do the job. I hate having to run out in the middle of working on the car. And even worse than that is finding that it takes a day or two to get parts that are not in stock, which is most everything.
Thank you.
