Anyone have any success with a tandem pump setup or using a convertible top pump?

The W124 and W210 pulleys use a multirib belt so I don't know how to make it work with W123 v-belt. IIRC replacement pumps don't come with a pulley anyway. If you're converting a non-SLS car to SLS, pulley style is the least of your problems Sixto 87 300D |

There are a couple threads over on Benzworld of people using them. I believe the most detailed one had it installed under the hood by a previous owner. Although most seem to recommend installing back by the SLS valve (in the spare tire area).

IIRC, the info is pretty sparse but it has been confirmed that people have done it. Most wired them to a switch somewhere (glove compartment IIRC) as these convertible pumps were only meant to run 5-15 seconds at a time, not continuously. BUT, if you have no leaks in the system you only need to run the pump when the load in the rear changes momentarily to adjust the ride height back to normal. To put the pump in the system you would have to make new lines somewhere to fit the pump into the system. I believe the deleted/didn't use the SLS reservoir but I don't recall for certain. It really shouldn't be too much work. I would think fabbing the new lines to tie the pump in would be the most difficult part. I've thought about this as my 79 TD is NA and have considered putting a turbo drivetrain in and finding a good turbo TD engine is difficult. Much easier to find a turbo D/SD engine. But the car is running fine so I doubt I'll mess with it unless an engine falls in my lap...well not literally.
