-From the exterior, they appear to be metal but a yank on the hose where the fitting broke, showed it to be plastic.

Yes there is a senior pass for parks, get a 12V oscillating fan(Wal mart) and clip it to the arm grabber on the passenger side, you will be amazed how much you like that. Max

[diesel_mercedes] dangerous pneumatic fittings

 



I thought all non metalic fittings were illegal on pneumatic systems .

I can't imagine ever using  them on an air source for this very reason .

Glad you're O.K. Brad ! .

I bought some pneumatic fittings at one of the "discount" sellers and installed them on my compressor. Well last Saturday one of them shattered and sent pieces of plastic all over the place; thankfully, my eyes were not one of those places. I am mentioning this only for your safety as I believe these are dangerously sub-standard, not to otherwise denigrate the business. Good health to all

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Set clock in Nate's car

 




Thanx again Bill ! .

I read this and made multiple trips out to the car but only got the hours set , I can't make the minutes change .

I bookmarked this and when I find someplace with a printer I'll print them out , drag out to the damn car and set them on the driver's seat so mayhap I can figger it out .

Sadly , some 10 + years ago I found the instructions in the glovebox of a junked Mercedes , they were pristine and i was *filthy* from head to toe so didn't touch them , just looked longingly and wondered if I'd remember to go back , I didn't .

Foolish me .

I made it to Albuquerque to - day after a nice quiet night sans WiFi in Grants, NM ~ they had WiFi but the wall plug was 20' away from where I had to set up my LapTop .

Oops .

All is well , rain every day since Saturday so the Desert is BRIGHT GREEN and smells wonderful .

I'm three days early so of course , there are NO Pick-A-Part junkyard anywhere in the entire Four Corners area.....
 .

I'll continue to poke around on Historic Rt. 66 and so on until everyone else arrives Saturday .

Thanx Bill ~ for some reason the page just idles when I click 'play' .

I'll try it again later .

I have an old Kenwood KCC-1011S CD player in the 240D and I'm trying to set the clock ~ I got the hours right but cannot get the minutes to change ~ they just blink and no matter what button I touch , it leaves the clock adjust setting =8-^ .

Why did you buy plastic fittings?
