Re: [diesel_mercedes] Granitize Wetcoat Wax & seat pads

 

Nate,

It's easier to find a decent passenger seat, which is mainly the same, after swapping out/ flipping a few parts.

I replaced my seat bottom, using a passenger seat, after I broke a spring.

I found the padding used : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pipe-Wadding-Padding-for-Mercedes-Covers-SL107-W123-W114-W115-W109-etc/382222237904?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

I'm undecided how to go forward on this .

If I can find a decent W123 Driver's seat I might buy it and install it, take my old one apart to replace the broken spring box and try my hand at installing those seat covers .

The seat covers place is not far away, in North Hollywood, Ca. where I used to work and still have friends .

I have found three W123's in a junkyard East of here so to - morrow after my bi - weekly Kaiser torture appt. (cleverly called "Occupational Therapy")  Tom and I will head out there to see if I can find good 'C' pillar interior sail covers and remove them without breaking......

Plus a few other fiddly bits and Tom wants to get some W126 seat belts and try his hand at cleaning them as I did mine ~ no one paid any attention when I did it but everyone who now gets into the 240D is amazed at how soft and flexible the seat belts are now....


I just ordered up four of the 126.914.22.15 seat coil "inserts" that I mentioned some time back, they give the front edge of the seat more thigh support, I'll install those too .

I guess maybe Granitize no longer makes the pint size bottles ? . I really don't want to work with a gallon jug of it but will do what I have to do .

Shirley took her first ride in the 240D since I began polishing it to - day and says it looks like a new car to her .

If Mamma's happy the whole house is happy .

THANX Bill ! .

I tried to subscribe the thread but even though it says 'thanks for singing in' it them jumps back to the sign in page...

Anyway, that link took me to a thread that had scads of _more_ links, many had photos, what I wanted .

I need to take an post, some pix of the 240D ~ I've spent a few days (? dayze ? )  hand rubbing out the paint then applying Granitize 'Polymet Wetcoat' wax over the cleaned up paint and it looks great ! . I'm still not yet done and I only have about one tablespoon left of this fantastic wax and I can't find who sells it anymore .

I have much to do yet on this old car but I'm loving every sore moment of both fixing and driving it .

I remember the Tijuana paint and upholstery jobs, as you said " wadded up newspapers and some sort of paper thread that disintegrated if it ever got wet....

I bought a spring box but want firmer seats 'cause I'm fat (230 + #) .

? Is there any source for the pads or squabs ?. mine are all falling apart .

TIA,

-Nate

Hi Nate,

What a question; I googled it and yep, your project is on the up-and-up.

Reminds me of the old days in LA, say 1956-1960. Rumor was you could get a good tuck-and-roll job on your car in Tijuana; just be careful they don't use wadded up newspaper instead of batting.

Keep us posted.  Bill in Oregon

You'd think so but no .

I took the car by yesterday and Carlos spent some time looking under the hood, he approved of the cleaning, new door strikers, seat belts and so on I have installed....
