The number you sent me for Attie was incorrect, I kept getting his fax
number. Will check the Telkom Directory.

The specialist technician you refer to would be Attie, from SDA Motors in
Brakpan :-)

He's just not online (very old school)...

Thanks for those Kind words, I truly will ask away and appreciate all that
you guys have done thus far. Guys in SA are slowly learing about the site as
there are thousands of SEC 126 Mercs on our roads. There is definitely a
market here for a Technician who specialises on these cars.

I thought the same thing then found out the gentleman was from South Africa
and very likely does not understand U.S. slang. We're used to folks on this
site that have been here for years and pretty much know their aberrations,
as we all have, but this is a new guy. Welcome, new guy(s)!! Ask away.

 

Hadn't thought about using one of your SECs for StarFest, that might be
interesting!!! Yep, we need to talk! 

 

I removed my Ouija valve for the rack & pinion (R&P) replacement so that
isn't a concern any more. 

 

Later,

Michael,

 

At first I found it interesting that someone asked you what an R&P was!  My
opinion promptly changed from interesting to "what the fuck?"  If one
considers that the question came from a car aficionado (member of MBCOUPS),
and to top it off he failed to notice the .jpg you attached just below your
writing.

 

I am truly afraid for him when he finds out the costs of  things he will
have to replace like his muffler return springs or how fast his tires wear
out if he doesn't rotate the air in them but assuredly he will have a heart
attack when he gets the bill from his mechanic for the replacement of the
Ouija valve!!!!

 

Doc 

 

P.S. I will get back to you soon, I wish to ask abouit the Starfest and if
you need a car for it

Well, progress however slight is still progress. Here's a picture of my test
installation of the R&P into the SEC. I'm flying back to WA State this
evening so not much will get done for the next couple of weeks. Still have a
lot of cleaning to do in the engine compartment and need to get a shaft made
to connect the MB column to the R&P input shaft. But it's getting there
though. 

 

What's the clearance between the bottom of the engine and the top of the
engine compartment crossmember in an SEC and SEL? There is a hydraulic line
right in the middle of the R&P that sticks up a little and the R&P mount
needs to be low enough that the line clears the oil pan.

 

Later,

Mike R.
