O.K. ;
Friday morning found Tom and I waiti9ng for the junkyard gate to open, I was able to get a buncha good stuff cheaply even if I did have to lay in the dusty / greasy dirt for several hours .
Another power steering pump, this one dry on the out side and clean red ATF on the inside, $30 even .
An annular typ rear drive half shaft, $21, includes the up graded drive flange, boots look crispy so I'll rebuild it before installing it, $21 .
A decent steering wheel, I don't find many that aren't worn smooth or worse, $17
Two brandy new front brake rotors with hubs, bearings and even the randy new TEXTAR pads, $29 ~ I just paid $30 EACH for the same ATE rotors in installed on my '82 240D, these will replace the 427,000 + mile ones on my 300CD .
A 65 ampere alternator from a 1985 Federal car, free along with a new, been sitting in the trunk of someone's car portable air pump/flashlight thing, it has a long cable with battery clips on it .
Plus of course, some usual special hard ware and proper #12 hose clamps etc. I find scattered here and there on the ground .
Saly, they've stopped separating the European cars out from the rest of the imports so the few Mercedes' I found, were widely scatted all over the place .
I need to find a catalog of drive axles to see what one fit what ~ I *think* R107 & W116 drive axles fit W123's but would like to know for sure .
TIA,
-Nate
