[W126 Coupe] amazing properties of machine screws, and speaker size question

[flakeymail-benz at yahoo.com]

Well, overnite the stench is about half as strong, so I guess in 7-8

Unless my jb weld tank repair fails todays leak test, then 8-9 days.

here's where the hole was, had a full tank less 46 miles  worth :(

cheers,
alex
