Title: accelerator linkage
Post by: elode on February 01, 2024, 13:47:14: Hello everyone, I own a 280 SL in France and I would like to take over the linkage part completely. I bought the kit and changed all the ball joints, rubber, and nickeled the steels. Now we have to put it all back together. I found some information but do you have a tutorial or something else regarding the adjustment and reassembly of all this? in the technical part there is a small help part which gives me information. On YouTube I found only the beginning of a good explanation but it indicates another video for the setting that I cannot find: on YouTube: Pagoda Rescue Part 8
Thank you again for your help on this forum.

if you click on his name, there a PM button where you can send him a message

Can I assume the engine must be at normal operating temperature, before attempting the linkage tour.
Regards
