[W126 Coupe] parts list

[Egill Gudmundsson]

Hello Gerry, 

I read your post about the headers. 

Are they for a 560?

I am very interested in them if you are willing to part with them for some
cash?

 

Thanks

Hi Kent,

 

I'm just now back from the Fatherland with a boat-load of 126 parts
(including a nice set of original factory tri-y M117 headers ... about as
rare as rocking-horse poop to find ... and I got them FREE of charge) and
can now get the list you requested.  It's available at this URL as a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

If you're interested in more in-depth documentation of my project, along
with plenty of blow-by-blow as I accomplished the job, you can find it on
the C126 sub-board of my 500E web site at this link:

Unfortunately you have to register for the site to see the photographs, but
if you care to spend a couple of minutes doing so it is probably worth it if
you are doing this job.

 

I found the factory service manuals (don't know if you guys all knew that MB
has made them available for free now here:
http://www.startekinfo.com/StarTek/outside/12253/?requestedDocId=12253 )
extremely valuable but most valuable was the write-up that list member Chet
Hwilka did on is own 560SEC top-end rebuild.  

 

Chet's guide was like the "North Star" guiding light to my process, taking
me through it at the highest level, and the factory service manuals were
more or less the actual maps that got me where I needed to go.

Hope this all helps.

 

Cheers,

Gerry

Guys

You are fantastic, the knowledge you all have about the SEC's are
unbelievable. The MB workshop's in this part of the world (Cape Town)
doesn't have a clue. Actually the MB dealer here are the best reasons why
never to buy a MB.
