Ok so I've done some more work today, and the amount of time spent doesn't seem to properly equate to the amount of work done, but this is mainly due to the cold melbourne weather, meaning things took ages to dry (water, paint, cleaning solutions etc.) In no particular order: Fix seatbelt...

I know there's a lot of debate as to which is better, the Bilstein or the Koni, but I'd go with the Koni if I could find some matching rear shocks.... since I can't I'm sure these would still be handy for one of us... and the price is right...

May as well buy a new one for Team116 #2 450SE... Is it the Bosch 910 that I need to use or another one? Dude selling them on eBay says the 910 is for 450SE 1976 onwards (which would be K-jet)... if so what goes in the 1975 with D-jet? Thanks

Quick question... are these the only items affected by the vacuum system? I wan't to ditch it by disconnecting the vacuum source at the manifold and install a vacuum gauge there. Can anyone see any problems with that? I don't want to touch the distributor vacuum advance systems, or the...

So after a process of elimination I finally came to the conclusion that the oil pressure problem had to do with the dented sump. Since the sump had to come off anyway to install an oil temp sensor for the aftermarket Autometer oil pressure gauge, it made sense to do a proper job of it. Firstly...

Just a quick yes or no question, I'm putting a new sump and gasket on my 450SE, the gasket looks thick and rubbery - do I need to put a bead of sealant around the mating surfaces like other manufacturers do or just put it in with clean mating surfaces? Ian.

Hi people, on my day off today I ventured down to Centre Road Wreckers in Clayton and was surprised to see the large number of MBs being wrecked. They normally carry 2 or 3 of them, but today I saw at least twelve. If you need a part and have been putting off buying it off eBay or a MB-only...
