VACUUM ELEMENT SOURCE
 

DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD SOURCE FOR VACUUM ELEMENTS FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL? I HAVE AN 87 300D THAT NEEDS FIVE OF THE SEVEN AND AT 50+ DOLLARS A PIECE FROM THE DEALER ITS GONNA KILL ME!

Check #7 of this post:
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/275486-w123-vacuum-pod-part.html
It's the latest location I've found.
BTW, for the double-element, long throw pods, you will need to buy replacements as they don't "rebuild" to original travel length. If the W123 is the same as the W126, in this respect, the defrost and fresh/recirc pods are long throw.

George Murphy's the man.

FYI
 

George sells the rubber diaphragm.

Call "Phil" if you need the assembly.
