Jusr received a replacement radiator:

THANK YOU for supplying the part #'s ! .

Those early vacuum actuators can be opened up and the rubber diaphragms replaced, I forget who sells the part though .

Or, just upgrade to the newer design, they fit perfectly and work fine .

I bought those two heater hoses this Summer, they came from Germany and took a few weeks but well worth the wait IMO, give the M-B Classic Center a shout, Thomas Hansen is the guy I use, tell him Nate says hi .

Thanks for the reply, I will make the wiring just as I stated. These loop plugs wont go when under 18F. Glows really slow (first in 39 years).

Valve cover is repainted with zinc and then wheel paint as per aluminum.

A lot of parts and repairs gas happened over the last half year:














Verder is er een oem radiateur dop binnen aangezien de originele helemaal op is. Veer en rubbergewijs.










En even rondgereden en een schroef is onderweg erin gegaan niet gehoord merkte pas toen ik terug was.







Best druk op werk, maar vandaag kon de w123 weer de brug op, ben verder heel geen last van rug of knie.

Dit heb ik vandaag gedaan.

Velgen vernieuwd, brandstoftank vernieuwd van 65L naar 80L, brandstofslang en zeef ook vervangen,remslangen en remleidingen voor ook vervangen met cunifer.
