S-500 '97 Suspension, Timing Chain, Brake Lines

[Foleydb]

I am an American living in Moscow, Russia for a couple of years, and I need to buy parts from the US and have them mailed to me via USPS to my APO address here. Parts through Mercedes here in Russia are very expensive, but since I can import them tax free from the US through the APO mail system, I want to order them from the States.

I need suspension parts, some brake lines, which are cracked and worn, some bushings, and a new timing chain. The German tech advisor at the dealer gave me printouts of the parts manual they have on computer at the dealer, and I have summarized them below.

What I need are the REAL PART NUMBERS I should be asking for, and suggestions about who I might buy them from in the US.

The German technical advisor is leaving Moscow at the end of February, so I would like to get the parts and have the work done before then, so I want to order ASAP.

Here is the list I have (US-spec Mercedes-Benz 1997 S-500)

Parts Required:

I have some detailed diagrams of the various parts with the some numbers. Below is the number on the top of the page, along with the number that is circled on the diagram and a short description of what it applies to:

Rear Struts - 140.051/32/142/B32142000001 + 11 (circled) - I evidently need two of these, one for left and one for right. The diagram is for the rear shock absorbers and 11 is a general number that appears to apply to everything except the hoses and connectors.

Front Struts - 140.051/32/052/B32052000001 + 11 (circled) - Again I evidently need both left and right. The diagram is very similar to the Rear Struts diagram, but without the springs at the bottom of the struts.

Rear? Brake lines - 140.051/42/090/B42090000250 - 149 and 152 circled - This seems to be a hose and a bracket that are part of the brake system.

Front? Brake lines - 140.051/42/090/B42090000219 - 146 (x2) circled - This seems to be a hose that is part of the brake system. The diagram is divided into two sections, one for ABS and one for ETS/ASR. They have circled the two places that 146 appears on the right and left wheels on the second diagram, the ETS/ASR side.

Front Steering Shock Absorber: 140.051/46/120/B4612000001
Parts circled are part 44, which is the lower horizontal part on the picture, and part 11, which appears to include all the connectors on the left side of the picture, i.e. part 14, 8, & 17.

Front? Bushings?: 140.051/33/030/B3303000004
Parts circled are 122.

Timing Chain: (Details Unknown)

Thanks for any help that anyone can give me with this.
