The Pay-It-Forward thread

[Zacharias]

I won't repeat all the stuff about how much I have benefited from this list, but I echo it 110 percent.

I have an owner's manual from a 1960 Mercedes 220SEb (four door fintail sedan with injected motor) that I had many years ago but never did anything with.

Whomever owned the car certainly DID RTFM. The manual has been customized with many handwritten notes. Also the owner seems to have proudly inserted part of a period Mercedes magazine ad, touting the benefits of dishing out $369 (!!) for the fuel injected model.

Edit: Free unless you're outside the continental USA/Canada, in which case a few bucks to cover the postage.

Cheers

I have the shut off valve for an OM617 engine brand new... Thought I needed it but just had too many vacuum leaks and a dying vac pump.

The box has long since been smashed and ripped into oblivion but the valve has never been installed.

I'm happy to help long standing forum members / regular contributors (to the technical forums) who are looking for parts that can't be got where you are but might be found here.

I've already helped out two of you - and it has been a pleasure.

I can't promise to find that bit of unobtainium for you but I'm willing to give it a go.

Unfortunately you do need to pay for the shipping on top of the cost of the part which at the moment means serious bucks. I can't provide a cheap solution but I might be able to find a solution...

I have a bunch of stuff currently on craigslist that I would be prepared to donate to a forum member ,someone locally. Mostly 190e or d body parts. Shipping is a problem from Canada, local pickup is best.

I have an 85 617 long block, California model, that I took the harmonic balancer off of. If someone wants it they can have it. I don't want to ship it, however I could possibly deliver it locally. It was a good running motor with about 130k on it. I'm in Monterey county, California. PM me if interested. The motor was in a 1985 300SD.

I'm making a list of NOS stuff to put in this thread...

[daw_two]

I have about one and a third w116 Euro Lights. I also have two w116 Euro type dark orange front turn signals.

Shoot me a PM or email if you want these. Be willing to pay shipping.

Thanks

I have a spring for a w123 glovebox that I never used. If anyone needs it, you can have it, just PM me.

This is a great thread!

I have US W124 headlights (no wipers) in good, working condition. You just need to cover the cost of ground shipping via USPS. I'm located in 07003 if you're local.

Im a newb and everything, just joined today. but ive been using your threads for a long time now, they are the only reason my car still runs today. I think this thread is an awesome idea, and i am honored to continue it. Heres what i got:

Vickers power steering pump for w123. Kind of dirty, i havent looked at the seals, but they must be okay, as it doesnt leak a drop. Filter is newish. 85 bar i think. Cant remember exactly what type right now, but its cold outside so im not gonna get under the hood unless someone is interested. I Will be finished rebuilding my old 65 bar the day after tomorree, and it will be avaiable then. You pay shipping, and its all yours.

They are made from 123/126 horn pad emblems. The first 5 people to pay something forward can email or PM me, and I will send you one.....Rich
P.S. Key not included!

Im concerned that i might not be able to pay my power steering pump foward by the time you are out of these. Is there anywhere i can buy one? They are pretty cool...

I wonder if anyone can help me with anything on my list.

I'm looking for some "yellow" w123 floor mats, any condition. I have bare metal (well painted metal) right now.
passenger side-rear tail light glass
the foot rest for the driver's left foot
The clips on the rear bumper that hold the rubber piece on

If anyone lives close to Tampa, I could certainly use a white P/S fender, front door, quarter panel... but that's getting into big projects and I'm not super excited over those.


I wan't to be sure it's understood I'm not expecting to get all of this out of this post, but whatever I can get would be cool!
