[W126 Coupe] A little bit of all of it and more

[brucegorsak at netscape.net]

I've have had very good luck with batteries from Advance Auto Parts.  There isn't much else I'd buy from them, I know of too many nightmares especially with their belts and rebuilt electrical parts, as opposed to the good luck I've experienced with their batteries.  They pro-rate them too, but never exercised that option.  I probably have 6 of them amongst my cars now.
 
The only M-B battery I have is in my 280SE 4.5.  And I'll stick with it as 
 
1- I have had absolutely no trouble with it 
2- The car is shown in concours events and I want to keep it correct
3- I have seen people get dinged for incorrect batteries
 
Thanks for the chrome tipping the M-B pipes tip.  I like that idea.  Does the plater hang the pipe so just the end goes through the plating process or mask it to selectively plate the tips.  I think Id like that on my 82 380SEC since I'm doing exhaust work on it now.
 
Also, a new one.  My 82 500SE has no cats on it.  Can the correct exhaust pieces be had in this country or am I on my own fabbing it?  My import documentation says it meets EPA emmissions requirements without them so I would obviously like to keep it that way.
