Has anyone ever attempted to fix a hood star
Mine broke yesterday and two of the three points became detached from the circle on the drive home.

Get a new one. They are cheap

Cheap?
I see them on ebay for around $60 thats not cheap for a start. Euro car parts in the UK sold W123 stars for around 6GBP. Thats cheap.
|
Ought to be about $25-30 bucks. Keep checking
|
Star
49$ for a removable one 29$ for the regular one www.adsitco.com

ebay isnt always cheapeest. but it's good for very rare parts. this probably isnt one of them and better with a supplier.
good luck. |
star purchase
Even better idea www.mercedesdismantlers.com/ -buy used

Antique OEM parts, including stars
Al,
This chap has provided me many oddball OEM parts over the last two years - and I've never been disappointed - he has good listings, and seems to be a straight shooter. See via http://cgi.ebay.com/Mercedes-Hood-Star-250S-250SE-280S-280SE-280SEL_W0QQitemZ7917314572QQcategoryZ33643QQcmdZViewItem If you visit his store, you'll see several offered, plus lots of other goodies. He specializes in buying old stock from closing repair shops, sell-offs, etc - have seen everything from simple knobs to a new 600 Grosser heater unit... Yes, he's listing a 280SEL 4.5 for $60 (other models are less than half as much) Buy It Now, but also frequently sells via Make an Offer - email him via the eBay link, and see if he'll do much better - if not, someone else may well do so. Used often have corrosion at the joint(s), exactly where yours failed... Stan |
A.s.a.p
I have dealt with this gentleman in the past, he is an extremely nice guy and as honest as he gets. He sold me a set of NOS axles for my 6.9. He ran a yard called Atlanta-Stuttgart a few years ago. I think he is off loading the remainder of his inventory.
I will keep on eye on the make best offer deals. |
get a crazy glue .
