[diesel_mercedes] Caliper Service

 

As long as your rebuilt kit has the special O-Rings to seal the halves to - gether, why not ? .

If you have problems, re assemble and exchange @ your FLAPS .

This heat is killing me too .

We got stuck in a traffic jam on the Grapevine on i5, it reached 127° F for a while .

Hey Nate, is there any reason to not split these calipers? They are really hard to get into the bore to clean. As long as there is no o-rings or a gasket , it sure looks easy to break them in half for cleaning. What do you think? I am really tired of summer. Hot, hot and then hotter. Haven't been able to see for weeks due to smoke, smells like a campfire 24/7. Uck. Max

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Interest in running 85 SD?

....years ago.

I purchased a running, but rusty 85 300SD.

At the time, I was in the process of restoring an 84. 

The fuel tank has never been connected, in the time I've owned it..  I had a two gallon tank from an old generator..

...40 miles without stopping was plenty to teach my daughter to drive, etc.

My beloved SD gave its life protecting my girl, 3 years ago.

I'd hoped to replace it.

But now my daughter is applying for vet school.

...and cash for her dreams is more important than mine.  Ya know.

There's nothing exceptional going on here.

It wasn't a restoration candidate in my mind.. 5 or more years ago.

The interior is complete.. It'd be good, if you had a running car, and wanted to send it off for upholstery..  

The body was a burgandy color.

The hood and trunk are straight. Odds and ends are okay.

I'm sure for the right buyer.  I can throw in a few boxes of filters, parts.. You know, stuff we accumulate..  

More than willing to photograph anything you're specifically interested in..

It sits for months, routinely, but fires up like new if I attach a battery and let her run.  She shifts cleanly.  

I've kept the valves adjusted, changed the oil yearly, even if it hasn't gone a hundred miles.

...it's in Toledo ohio. I'll assist in sending her down the drive.

Make me an offer..

I'm saddened to post this..

RE: [diesel_mercedes] Motocycle Crash 6.26.17

 

I split a disc brake unit apart years ago. Don't remember what it was off of. No gasket . The passageway between the two halves had a small O-ring.

I will guess I got a replacement O-ring at FLAPS. They had two boards of them behind the counter; you pick. They had fuel resistant and other.

I _was_ riding slow, below the speed limit in fact (a rare thing for me indeed) .

I'm not sure how long I lay there ~ it's a fairly busy road and I tried to scrabble sideways on my back out of the traffic lane but prolly didn't move much with only one arm .

I'm close to out of the pain meds so I've been stretching them and apparently went too far yesterday @ 14+ hours between single doses when they want me to take two every four hours  .

I didn't get much sleep last night and the  broken rib only made things worse as I can't really sleep much except on my side....

I crashed Monday 6.26.17 attached is a happier pic. of the bike and I . T'was nice, now junk =8-( .

I wish you'd gotten pix of the owls .

? Do you get 'Owl Pellets' in your workshop ? .

? How's the weather ? nice here , supposed to get _really_ hot & humid beginning to - morrow .

OK, well that says a lot. You poor sucker. Dont down talk the pain meds. When you need them , they can work good, so use them as prescribed and get tru  this, otherwise suffer more, I learned to take the morphine shots and be very grateful for them because the other choice sucked more. Pain hurts, reminds you that you live in a body. So this was about a month ago? How long did  you lay alongside the road in pain before help arrived? Some time its time to slo down and watch the clouds pass by and get old . Dang nice looking bike. Me, all I ride now is a Yamaha Big Bear 4 wheeler to the mailbox.  That's enough thrills for me, yesterday I saw two great horned owls.Max
