The Pay-It-Forward thread
The Pay-It-Forward thread.
Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend and it has given me time to reflect on some things. I have been a member since 2006 and through the resources here I have saved thousands and tackled maintenance, repairs and modifications I wouldn’t have thought of doing alone without advice. With the help of great generous forum members I have successfully completed many projects saved much money and feel confident enough with your help to tackle many more projects and even help others. So it was a few months ago knowing that rear rotors and pads were in order I went out with flashlight in hand and verified that I had a two pin brake pad system. I ordered PBR Metal Master pads for a 1999 E300 and finally when I had time and get around to the repair imagine my surprise to find that I have the 1 pin system. Should have looked in daylight. Too long ago to send back so FREE to a member of the forum who will Pay–It-Forward. I will even pay reasonable shipping. From their marketing blurb “The PBR Axxis Metal Master pads are made from a Non-asbestos, semi-metallic compound that provides the highest fade resistance among leading semi-met brake pads. They deliver proven longer pad and rotor life, with low rotor scoring and quiet braking. They are made with a unique formula that offers reduced brake dust, fade and squeal. These are the longest lasting brake pad on the market!”  I loved them on the Cosworth and my M3. They are fabulous pads, I find they do dust, perhaps not as much as others but they do dust.. PM me or leave name here, I will put all the names in a hat and announce the winner here on the 14th. Oh, only 1 rule “The only rule is that winner MUST have an item available that they are willing to Pay-It-Forward with. If you don't, please don't apply to be a winner". The life of this thread is reliant upon the winner actually Paying It Forward. Thanks for past help, the economy sucks, lets do something nice for fellow members. EDBSO

I think the biggest hurdle to moving those pads is the canadian shipping involved. there are many members on here from there, but the majority are US...

Wow outstanding thread idea.
I have much to pay forward. I have literally done a billion searches on this website, while contributing little. My current ride is the 85 300SD. It was being sold without a key after sitting for 10 years. I trailered it home and after a few months, it now starts, runs, and stops! I wouldn't have ever thought of buying such an undertaking without websites like this. So, here's my first contribution. I know nothing about these brake pads other than they're brand new, Mercedes brand, and I have no idea what cars they are compatible with or how I got them. I'm too lazy to look them up. If you know what they are and want them, let me know and they're yours.

I'm thinking of placing a car in this thread... whoever wants it would need to come close to charlotte to pick it up...
I'm not sure if I should put in a 123, a 126 or a 124... options, options, options... I've already given away an 82 240D... for a LOT of help in my yard... I've got a project 84 300D with a partial conversion to manual status... I've got an 83SD that has a bad B2 installation, I've got the seals and so fourth to install and get it 100% but... no time... I've also got a sidelined 87TD... I REALLY don't wanna get rid of this car, but I may have to.

If I can arrange a truck and some time I'll take anything one as long as there is no body work required. Painting is NP.
What is a B2? Is that the injection pump? If so this is something that I want to learn how to do and as much about it as possible as I have a spare attached to a ruined block. I have a family friend with an 84/85 SD gasser that's falling apart around him. They are loosing their house and this would be a great help to the family plus there would be spare parts for the non powertrain related stuff if needed.
