Broken throttle linkage
So I broke one of the plastic ball sockets on the 300D. Can I get some of the metal ball sockets? I currently have the plastic socket ziptied together.

Seems to me Sixto said you can swap the metal ends from a 61x engine and get away from that fragile plastic. I have one end that's also zip-tied.

That's good to know. My cruise control rod is currently made of safety wire because one of the plastic ends busted.

Joe-
I think I saw a 603 (300SDL) in the U-pullit down by Orlando Airport last Saturday. http://www.upullandpay.com/Locations/Orlando/

Interesting, guess where I am going Saturday just to get stuff from the engine lol
plus they do have an assortment of other older cars. hmmmm Well I already got two ball sockets from a member here for a really good price, but I will go Saturday and check this place out and see what I can score. |

Don't wait too long. It was reasonably fresh last weekend. The engine was pretty much there, don't recall the linkage. Is it different on a W124 OM603?

I gave up after I found out from my parts guy that the linkage I need doesn't thread on. So I ordered a new one. :/. Well hopefully it will last for another 24 years
