Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Hood hing pin clips - W123
 
Any one ever have to acquire the spring clips that hold the bottom of the hood hinge to the fenders ?

One went a month ago, no big deal at the time as I was not driving it because of the control arm issue, tonight while looking for a solution for the one that let loose, the other let go also.

So at the bottom of the hinge, there is a pin that goes through the inner fender, then a big washer that goes over it that is held on by the spring clip.

The clip and washer is not shown in the Elkers IPB and not listed with the hing hardware.

Any one happen to find a suitable substitute at Lowes, HomeDepot or somewhere else ?

Looking to fix this Thursday so I can go for an inspection sticker Friday.

Thanks

From someone else: Bill in Oregon

An automotive spring clip might do in a pinch. They come in various spans. Lowes or any older neighborhood hardware will usually have a drawer of them in the hardware aisle.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Stolen

 

Tom,
You could have fingerprinted it yourself; the information you get won't admissible, but in later crimes, it would suggest the perpetrator. Quite frequently, homicides occur during burglaries when the homeowner unexpectedly confronts the burglar. Then, the cops would want to know who stole your car after the B+E.    ;-).      Deer cams have become an effective deterrent here as well.

You're sure right about the club not working very well. My wife's van was stolen in May, so I bought a club for the steering wheel. 3 weeks later it got stolen again! That time it got a little messed up. The spare keys had been stolen during a house burglary. Damned neighborhood kids!!! They brought it back both times and the police wouldn't fingerprint either time.

Seriously I use a reversed Club.  Everyone knows the Club is useless to prevent theft however they can be effective if you reverse it so the key cylinder is facing the dash.  They can't use a dent puller to pull the cylinder out.  It takes about 10 minutes to hack saw through.  So they will in general leave you alone as it's not worth their trouble.  Lawrence Rhodes.....
