My new 95 SL 500

I've been working on this car since I drove it home from near Erie. 68,000 miles and all the usual issues. Beautiful condition though (see my gallery). I recently installed a new hood pad, a Kenwood...

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone with the correct first aid kit for a 95 SL500 would post a picture of it? I've been scouring EBay and I've seen one that has a tan leatherette case that says it's for...

hello Frank, yes, I'm sure it would. I don't really need 25mm (as per Fonzi's answer) and this week I'm going to test and see if that will even fit with out outer wheel rub. I'm baffled that with all...

Revisiting the Hub centric spacer question

Hello, it's been a couple years since I asked but I'm still seeking an answer. Has anyone bought a hub centric spacer for a 82 era 107 that works with the hub? I need to add about 15mm clearance...

hubcentric

Honestly Frank, the main reason I need the adapters is because the center caps won't fit on the wheels because the hub sticks out so far. The wheels do sit in to a degree that they don't look right,...

82 380SL no spark after injector seat repair

Hello, I know this is a well covered item, but this one to me is unusual. I just did an R&R on my injector seat O rings to seal up vacuum leaks I had. The car started right up fine. I let it warm up...

Mine must be worn out then. It doesn't push at all. I thought initially that it might be for that but it does not even seem to hit anything when it's closed. Thanks for the replies! Andy

123 dash speakers

Benzedrine, I saw this post a little late. I've done several 123's now. I use an infinity Kappa 4" speaker. Yes, the tweeter does stick up a tad bit high, but it works well. I trim about 1/8 inch...

85 300D overcharging again

No doubt Barry. It is a Bosch and when I installed it a week or so ago the voltage was perfect across the board. I'm wondering if the car is killing them?

85 300D overcharging again

Well...tonight I ran another ground to the engine / alternator and tested the voltage. 16.7 If I turn on the lights and fan, it drops to 13.8 - until I rev it up and then it's back to 16. I'm...

85 300D over charging again

Yes, I've done all the cleaning. I'm fanatical about this kind of stuff. The dash light works properly. When you rev the car up, it makes too much voltage. I will check the engine strap tomorrow. I...

85 300D suddenly running rough update

Yesterday I replaced the drivers side motor mount. There was nothing left to it. The PO must have tried to do the job as he stripped out the outter bolt. I had fun with that. I also noticed while I...

82 380 SL ground effects

Sorry, I don't have a good pic of the rear right now. It's shaped like some AMG units I've seen, but they went up on to the Euro bumper, not under it (us spec bumper) like mine. I don't think mine...
