General Discussion / Re: big mistake... [updated: no 😇]
« Last post by Figoulu on June 30, 2025, 07:56:35 »Some updates...
Here in the south of France, the temperature (104°F and more...) is not favourable to make hudge progresses, unless you could work early in the morning or late at night... Anyway...
I finally received a new balanced flywheel, with nice and clean starter gears, so I could put everything back together...
Now what puzzles me, is the movement i can do with the clutch release fork... Does the magnitude is not too much ? here is the short video:

Before everything is back in the car I just wanna make sure...

Body, interior, paint, chrome, and cosmetic items / Re: Looking for MB tex (red?) for a W113 of 1964 + sunvisors (ivory?) OEM quality
« Last post by Pawel66 on June 29, 2025, 19:29:48 »No harm to ask.
I see undefined availability, which usually means NLA. But who knows...
Yes, the numbers changed. They will see worldwide inventory, no issue there. In fact - any dealer is able to do it.
Let's see.

« Last post by zoegrlh on June 29, 2025, 19:16:28 »You will need parts number: 113 810 07 10 for left, 113 810 08 10 for right. These are the original stock numbers. As do some of their parts, numbers get superseded by a newer number. However, the MB computer will give the newer numbers that link to the original numbers. Good luck, I’m sure that they have them. When I purchased my MBcA sunvisors, back cc 15+ years ago, the MB computer said there were only in worldwide inventory of 6 pairs, all on shelf in Germany. I did find out that when those other 4 pairs were sold, members could not get sunvisor replacements and we had a member living in London that contracted a company to China to fabricate look alike. They were really nice looking and were sewn from the inside. Color and all matched nicely. Since that time, some few years later, MB produced them again and they were available thru MB. So how MB can look those Sunvisors for you, and ship to a Mb dealer near you.
