Re: [diesel_mercedes] OOps ~

 

Hey, when rebuilding brake calipers , is it pretty much the same  as shoe pistons? You just have to clean out the cylinder , maybe hone it and install the rubber parts? I notice the prices for calipers might lead me to re-do my own. Whats the talk about this? max

I was harvesting parts from a 1980 Mercedes 240D last week and noticed pic. # 1 ~

" This cannot be a good thing " , I reached over and tugged on the broken alloy rocker box and it came off in my hand revealing pic. # 2 ~ notice there's no wear on the can chain sprocket whatsoever .

I'm guessing someone replaced the cam chain and didn't peen to master link properly, sending this poor old car to the junk  yard .

I went there to salvage the European spec. rear bumper off the '75 (!) 230C grey market car in Pic. # 3 .

It was *very* rusty and had clearly given it's all .

The bumper has one rust hole in it and will be used to assemble a better European bumper to the rear of my '84 300CD *:x lovestruck .
