Hello all!

Thanks for looking. I'd love to find a part if anyone could help me out.

Part numbers 1232230040 and 1232410430

Number 95 and 92 in the picture.

It's for a early w123. Pre 1980 I think. Not sure exactly what years and models.

Thanks

I have that bracket with the 2 shock absorbers, but I am not sure what part #92 or #95 does? I have the same set up in my DD (it's removed right now, getting ready for the turbo engine).

Pictured parts 92&95 are what I need. It's like a third engine mount I guess. Attaches just behind the oil sump to the crossmember. You have that?

Let me check. I had this set up in my current DD. I recall removing the brace or bracket that holds the 2 shock absorbers and there was something behind the cross member I removed. I will look tomorrow. Battling either a mild cold or crappy allergies right now.

Thanks Mark! i had just learned about this not too long ago. went out and looked for it on mine and it was not there. probably lost it way back when they put in the tauschaggregat.

I don't have this on my 78.....heard it was only on certain 240's...

I can see the mounting holes in the block and the mounting hardware on the cross member so i assume that it should be there...but maybe not.

CoolJay might be right since my 1983 was originally a 240D .. It was "converted" for the 617.912 NA. I looked and only found a few miscelleneous pieces such as a few fastners and a small metal plate, but they are not the items pictured. The one piece is still connected to the crossmember by what appears to be a rivot.

EPC shows it for 300's

Hey Mark; the 78 I did a engine swap with; the original 617 had that front mount in the 78 300d.

Phillytwotank · #11 02-27-2014, 03:26 PM

Thanks for looking. Im real curious to know how having this would effect things.

greazzer · #12 02-27-2014, 03:51 PM

Hey,

I looked and I don't have those parts so I am thinking I never had them. But then again, my car was originall a 240D so I doubt when the 5 cylinder was installed, all the bits here and there were installed. Sorry Bro ... Your beautiful red 300CD does not need them anyways.

I was able to locate the parts at benzpartswholesale.com for the lowest price of 251.68 shipped. I have ordered from these guys before and they provide great service.

Hey no worries. I wouldn't say that I've ever had any roughness issues beyond what new MMs and other rubber parts didn't take care of. Just would like to have it complete if I can. Don't know about shelling out 250 for the parts.

cooljjay · #15 02-28-2014, 01:34 PM

My car never had it....and the 77 d I pulled parts from didn't have it and the 77 cd I was working on didn't have it....

If i had to take a guess, this was probably added if the dampers/shocks were added...

I would use that 250 to buy new dampers, new phoenix/lemforder turbo mounts and a lemforder trans mount...

rough idle can be caused by these items, pressure relief valve, no cigar hose, ip timing, valves...
