WTB: W115 / OM615.912 throttle lever.

[OldTimerBenz]

Looking to buy the throttle lever assy. that attaches to valve cover.
I need the stationary part and the pivot arm. If you also have the connecting rods, that's a plus.
Please respond with total cost offer and preferred payment method.
I'm good with PayPal or personal check.
My zip is 32226.
Thanks in advance.

That looks pretty similar to the lever used on both the M115's and M110's. Any chance of you getting a part number?

Drop Arthur Dalton or Frank Reich a line. I bet they'd know the number.

Is Pierre still down there in Florida? I'm sure he'd have one or know where to get one.

Thank you Mike D for the leads.

If I remember correctly there's a difference between manual and automatic transmission / gearbox because of the vacuum system controlling the automatic transmission (or not)


Definitely worth a look at EPC before buying / ordering

Hah! There used to be a guy on this forum named "Army Ant" also known as "Stretch" but you can't be him. The last I heard from him he was being absorbed by a rusty, old Rover (is there any other kind?). I know it can't be him because he would NEVER be caught in a Volvo!

Tris, you old son of a sea dog, how the hell are ya?

Sorry for the hi-jack.

Thank you Stretch for the info. My set up is an auto trans.

I was never called Army Ant - just Army


If you follow the lower link in my sig I'm back being Army again (!)


I'm fine - I'm glad to see so many old faces - how's tricks?


{Yep sorry about the Volvo - the Land Rover was bad enough - but really - Volvo? I don't know what I was thinking - I really wanted a Mk1 Ford Transit van for humping and dumping engines and other automotive rusty junk but some how ended up with a 2 door red thing - the colour of which I hated so much...


...pictures of Volvo are attached to end of the 300D thread also in sig}


X2 - sorry for the thread jack X2

I'll have a look about and see if my old haunts are still about to get unofficial access to EPC (It used to be free in the US of A but was never free in Europe so "we" had to learn the circumventing tricks before you - they might still be about)

[Stretch]

Oh dear EPC access is even worse than it used to be!


I can only find the plate for the manual transmission - sorry


If I'm getting back into Mercedes I think I'm going to have to join a classic club where you get free EPC thrown in - the only thing with clubs is the whole car keys and fruit bowl element...
