EDIT: Have not been able to try this one out yet. —- Just got a package today from DPUK or dieselpumpuk.com and Luke Dale The 8mm Mynä pump has some problems with jerking, its not undriveable, but if inexperienced or if it has been a while since driving, the car will “jerk”, especially in […]
Hello Got a hold of a set of A2204010002 rims from a w220 S-class, 16″ 7.5 inch wide and ET46. This is to high ET to even fit in the rear and it barely fits in the rear with a 5mm adapter, but the front is a no go, definetly. Solved that with a 30mm […]
Been talking to the builder of the w114 om606 coupe with air-suspension (Dan) http://mbturbo.com/car/w114om606/ He feels he needs more stopping power, and got ahold of vented front discs for his w114 that i suspect are either from one r107 or perhaps a w126 gen1. Anyhow, have been thinking about the posibility to do the w126 […]
The 717.430 broke down, swapped from singlemass setup 717.430 fivespeed to dualmass setup with a 717.412 gearbox from a om605NA w124, ride quality greatly improved, no vibrations, and driveline shake

Got some pictures from Brad over at Benzworld.org (1884benz) from when he installed a rack and pinion from a w210 in the same w123 he puts a LS1 engine in build thread here: http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1774303-1982-300td-benz-lm7-4l60e-swap.html I am looking to go down the same route regarding stearing on both the s123 280TE with om605 aswell as the s123 200t […]
