Bought the URO aftermarket version of the headlight door/bezel for my '82 380SL and having the hardest time installing them! The bottom screw seems to go in no problem. But the top screw doesn't line up and can't reach the bracket so that the screw can begin to thread. The URO part does look...

Hi everyone, I did a search earlier and could not locate an answer so I'm creating this post. Last weekend, I rebuilt my Power Steering Pump and when I removed the seal ring on the back of the unit everything fell out. They looked like little metal blades. So I put everything back the best way...

Hi I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a Nardi 3320 hub with the 15 mm spline I bought it for my 560sl not realizing there were 3 different spline sizes over the production run. I’ve gone through the trouble of having it mirror polished and ceramic coated. I’m open for reasonable...

Background information: While working on my 1974 350 SLC while in storage, i got back to it one day, and the Windshield washer pump and wiper arms run continuously (as soon as the key is in the accessory position). I purchased a replacement turn signal stalk ("Multi-Function Switch") thinking...

I am looking to replace my 1988 560SL that was totaled last week. I am open to any 560 and maybe even a 1972-73 model. I’m not looking for super low miles or show quality, I love to drive my cars at least a few times a week. I prefer Midnight Blue but am open to any color besides Signal Red...

Hey guys, While I was changing the brake pads on my '88 560SL, I broke a bolt on my calipers, and now I need to extract and replace it. Problem is, after searching for days, I cannot for the life of me identify this bolt. Can anyone help? It's not the actual "caliper bolt"—it's one of these...
