With shipping to my place about $13, is that good for my 1982 300TD?

That sounds OK, don't forget the heat shields (if you don't have them already):

Depends on your level of superstition.

I checked and Fastlane currently doesn't have them available. However, www.*************** has them for $0.91/ea

My preference is to buy from known reputable distributors, such as Fastlane, rather than off fleabay, who is reported to be the #1 place for fraud on the internet.

we have them

Have a great day.

I have heard, and subscribe to, not using the shields, as they hold water, from where is anyones guess. I have managed to aquire a number of them. Have replaced all, should be okay for some time, till you sell?

I've got a like a billion of those- they are free at the yards here. If people want them, send me a buck and I'll send you up to three. Oh, on second thought- nevermind sending the buck- just ask me and be good to your neighbor instead.

I'll take a thousand !:D

asnowsquall,

Order 6 0f them. U will eventually need them.

P E H

That theory does not hold much water!!!

I could use 3, don't mind paying for shipping if you have paypal ;) Thanks!

Thanks, greasehopper, thanks. You're humble servant.

If anyone else wants them drop me a PM with your address and I'll do my best to get them out to ya- let me know if you need one two or three. Dont be greedy. If you want to paypal me a buck after you get them, fine. Dont do it until you get them, though. Seriously I think I have 20. But the yards here always have them. I stopped getting them after I had more than fingers and toes.

I just tossed out three good used ones.

You will be lucky if the bracket isn't cracked--common problem.

Both of mine are cracked.

Does replacement net a huge loss in noise?

Why does the bracket crack so often?

Heat shields hold water
 

:) Water cooled heat shields? :)

Of course you could always buy them here if I run out-

JWJ,

THe reason the brackets break is poor design The bracket isn't thick enough to resist vibration which work hardens it. It then becomes brittle and breaks.

I made brackets out of thicker steel and they haven't broken.

P E H

No. Shop elsewhere...

Water?
 

Don't believe everthing you hear.:D

All of the heat shields I replaced had an extra little drain hole to alleviate such a thing.;)

Wouldn't the heat generated by the turbocharger evaporate any standing water...

WHere do the heat shields fit in? I never saw any shields on any of my 3 300SDs.

P E H

Between air cleaner bracket and the mount.

I found that when I install my heat shields on the 300D they only added to the noise
Maybe I was too afraid I'd tear them by over tighten them.

How, they should be tight under the rubber mounts?
