Research & Development / Re: Replacing brake booster with electronic assembly
« Last post by baon3h on June 28, 2025, 00:35:27 »
They did! The M8 bolts are inserts from sendcutsend. They are perfectly flush with the surface.

The parts finally arrived. Unfortunately, they were not able to bend my Y-fork for the booster rod end. I came up with two alternatives: A 12mm clevis pin for the rod end that came with the booster, and a DIN 71752 rod end with a nylon bushing (see picture). I'll probably go with the DIN rod end as it is more compact which allows me to remove one of the aluminum plates from the booster.

I started wiring up the car but came across some exposed copper in my harness. So that will need to get fixed first. While I'm at it, I will add a 10 gauge wire to the battery, ground and a smaller wire from the ignition. I'll keep you posted!

I'm sorry that I do not have any.  I believe that they are just a common M10 (10mm nut).  You may find them at Home Depot or Lowes but, I am not certain.

Correct, they ship all over the world, or even go to your closest Mercedes Benz’s dealer as for parts supervisor, and have him order the Sunvisors for you and they will be shipped there. MB has a worldwide parts network. Most of my Pagoda parts were ordered by my local MB dealer.

Body, interior, paint, chrome, and cosmetic items / Cut outs for Small Rubber trunk mat
« Last post by lreppond on June 27, 2025, 19:30:15 »
I have a late US model w113 (build date 11/70).  I recently purchased new rubber mats for the trunk but need help marking and cutting out holes in the small mat that is under the spare tire and jack brackets.  I have no idea of what to use to get a sharp even cut line nor how to accurately mark it off.  (I no longer have the original mat.)

Does anyone know the diameter of the hole for the post on which the spare rests?   Is there a template available to get this right?  Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.  I have only one try to get this right! Attached is a pic of how the small mat was delivered as well as the large mat in place.

No ballast resistor required for the 123ignition, remove or bypass. Flamethrower should be fine. (123ignition is a good call.)
