mercedes tool substitute??
 

does anyone have a good subtitute for mb tool # 916-589-00-21-00? that is the little aluminum disk used when adjusting the vacuum control valve on the 617 diesel engines. thanks

I used a 10mm open end wrench to gauge the distance between the stop pin and the lever. I've got an article that I printed out years ago that says the disk is 20mm with a hole in the middle which fits over the stop pin, but google does not seem to be finding that article for me right now.

as ever

i asked the shop owner, he actually had one, what luck
