    W126 420SEL front suspension.

    The bilsteins you buy direct are slightly different to shocks you get if you buy them from Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes set their own parameters and Bilstein are not allowed to sell these shocks to the public. They have their own offerings that are very similar, but slightly different. The...

    6.9 Speedos

    Can;t be a 280 rev counter, they redline at 6500rpm. 450 redlines at 5800rpm I think 350 is 6300, but could be wrong, a while since I have seen one. There were at least two 6.9 redlines I have seen.

    6.9 front suspension not raising

    I think the bundts suit the car! I would leave them on if it were mine.

    W126 420SEL front suspension.

    They both should be similar. Do they both have the same size wheels on the car? I bought a W126 with 17s and the ride was very harsh. Only the full hydro cars would have a good ride with wheels over 16". Also, sounds simple, but have you checked the tyre pressure? ride is much harsher...

    Not SLCs. Given their price when new many were sold with Bundts. Most w108 w114 and w115 have them and plenty of W116 and w123 too. I’ve been thinking about selling my 300SE and replacing it with a w116 and I would want caps on that if I did.

    Same car, three different wheel options. Which do you prefer? 1) Replica 8 hole 16x7.5 ET23 2) 'Gullideckel' 15 hole 15x7 ET25 3) AMG 'Penta' 15x7 My preference? 3, 2, 1. And adding in the colour matched hubcaps as number 4, and 'Bundt' style as number 5, I would go: 3) Penta 4) Hubcaps 2)...

    New subframe mounts are in: all four wheel wells now cleaned. I went and got a pressure washer in the end, doing it by hand was too hard. Photos are not great. Not long after I started this job it began raining. by the end I was very wet, muddy and cold. Lukily I had some old rags at...

    560sec ece

    The wheels are now mounted on the car. I also took time to try and clean out the wheel arches before mounting them. I'm glad I did. The front lug nuts were not all that tight, and one was even missing. I think that was from when the brake hoses were changed (not by me). I'm really...

    SOLD:: Mercedes 8 hole 16" replica wheels & tyres for W126 or similar

    For Sale: Set of four 16x7.5 ET23 replica 8 hole wheels to suit the W126 or similar models. Come with near new 225/55ZR16 99W tyres, less than 3 years old with only 7,000km on them. No curbing or gutter rash. I had them on a W126 560SEC but these rims would likely fit other Mercedes that use...

    Retrosound 'Grand Prix' - new 80s becker inspired radio

    This product has been announced and should be available in 2022. I would imagine the local distributor, classic auto sound will carry it. Photos for those who don't use facebook: Note they allow the colour of the illumination to be changed, which would need to be amber to fit in with the...

    Valve Grind & De-coke on 6.9

    Which car is this on? Can you do custom rings? I've heard this is not as expensive as some factory rings.

    Quite a bit of progress on the 107 of the last couple of days: I just had the subframe mounts done, they were so bad there was metal grinding on metal. Never done in my ownership. I used the genuine ones even though they are expensive as I hear the Febi ones flatten after a couple of years...
