I'm to the point of taking the cluster out, but will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon (Mom's surgery is at 9:30, and I don't expect to be home til noon anyway). I worked on it about three hours this afternoon just taking stuff off, expect to have it done Thursday late since I'm going to have to wait on a vac servo from Benz (the regular supplier is out).
Only one of the servos holds vac, and that's only 5"! I'm replacing them all, I'd rather spend the cash than do this job twice.
The TE is an 88, separate OVP and FPR, the 300D is, of course, an 87, also needs a new OVP.

Hi Peter,
First of all, Good luck with your mom's surgery. I hope everything goes well.
Second, thanks for the information.
Whenever you have the chance, can you please post the job number(s). I have the CD, and it hard to find things there? If you can give me the job number(s), I can do search and find them...hopefully
Thanks a lot
Sam
