Re: [diesel_mercedes] Seat Belt Service D.I.Y.

 


Nice write-up.  I use laundry detergent dissolved in warm water, and a stiff bristle brush. I've been able to turn black belts back to tan, red, blue, gray, etc. It often helps to remove the bolt at the lower, anchored end of the belt assembly. This allows pulling the belt all the way out of the retractor mechanism for easier scrubbing, rinsing and drying.

For my Coupe I bought a deep cheap bucket at the Dollar store and some soft bristled brushes and a fingernail brush plus a package of clothes pins .

I used Meguiars #40 plastic & leather cleaner / conditioner but I'm sure most any upholstery cleaner will do the truck . I'm now out of Meguiars and don't know who stocks it so I'll prolly try foaming upholstery cleaner from my F.L.P.S. next, I really want to do the Wagon's belts before another buckle gets broken .

I slid the seat back until the bucket lined up  with the seat belt where it hands and unspooled the seat belt as far as it'd go then used the clothes pins (3) right where it comes out and let it fall into the bucket, sprayed the webbing liberally and worked it into the fabric with my hands .

I then left it to soak for an hour before coming back and spraying it and the brush with the cleaner then I used the brush and my hands down in the bucket to prevent spattering the seats or carpet with dirty soapy crud, to gently brush the belt, working from  one end to the other .

This isn't hard but the belt keeps wanting to crease or flip over  in your hands and it's very important to not skip any parts of it .

Then I wiped it with clean rags, rinsed out the bucket and filled it with warm water about 3/4 full and  put the belt back in & worked the brush all over it again , the water turned dead black so after a while I used two fingers to wring the belt as I pulled it out, dumped the dirty water and re filled the bucket, I did this over and over until I got clear water with no soap, dirt, bubbles floating etc. in it .

Then I used more clean dry towels to dry the belt and looped it over the back rest and let it air dry ~ the belt's fabric is synthetic so it only took a few hours to dry .

The Sedan , I removed the entire belt and retractor for cleaning (picture was of the belt in my kitchen sink) , I can detail that too if you'd like, it's not difficult .

I hope this helps .

-Nate

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Seat Belt Service

 

Thanks Nate. It came out the same day as your email below.

No, I haven't dealt with my oil gauge yet, as I've been distracted putting new suspension on the Sportsmobile/ Van.

[diesel_mercedes] Jane Doe - 1982 240d

 

Check it out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOenDrFIj8Y


OK, got the $500 1982 240d with the 300d engine & trannie towed home. Hate to tear it apart as it could easily be restored. Closed the doors and got a great "thunk." Parked it and covered it up for the next 2 or 3 months. Will put a battery in it, fire it up, and see what I think. But, this is a rock solid car.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Austin Diesel Truck

 

Fairly conventional, as an Austin would be....


For funky British diesels, it's hard to beat what Commer, a division of the Rootes Group, was putting out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjmY8DwEMQM


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGaISFg_ZIw


Rootes Group included passenger car makes Hillman, Humber, Singer and Sunbeam.  It was eventually absorbed by Chrysler in the late '60s.


The clutch lever broke on the bike, so I had to press the SD into service yesterday.  Hadn't driven it in about a month.  She fired up much more quickly on the winter blend fuel. I still can't get over how nice it is with the new(ish) windshield and grommet....
