radiator, fan and clutch replaced!

Thanks to all the great information from this message board, I decided to replace my radiator, fan and fan clutch on my own and attempt to save a bit of money. The job couldnt have been any easier thanks to everyones help.

Total quoted from the Benz dealer - around $1200

Total for parts and my own labor:
Nissens Radiator - $196 including overnight shipping.
11 blade plastic fan, clutch and bolt - $150.14 with free shipping.

My total - $347.14

The thing that amazed me the most, the new parts I bought were the same part numbers that the dealer gave me.

Where'd you buy your parts? I need to replace the same parts on my 1987 300TD. Seems like good prices.
