New Vendor of Soft Top Frame
« on: April 11, 2023, 11:28:21 »
Some of you were looking for soft top frames. It has been quite some time ago, but I still decided to share - this vendor developed manufacturing of the frames:

https://imoz.pl/index.php?m=oferta&sm=&producer=&id=48&id_cat=30&products_id=2794

I think it is quite decent, but, certainly make sure by yourselves and judge.

The vendor are classic Mercedes restoration shop, I am doing my 190SL and Ponton there.

Well... I did not expect so many nice comments, frankly....

Thank you, thank you all!

Always happy to help if I can.

Yes, I am well and enjoying my Pagoda. Speedo was the topic for me in the winter - I managed to overhaul one myself (a good place to do it in Poland retired). Learned how to determine the W (or k) number, dismantle a speedo, adjust km, put it back together., made puller for needle... quite fun. Then a couple of weeks ago - adjusted valves, exchanged oil, I just need still to pump some grease to the nipples.

Had a ride already January 1 this year - a brief club meeting, as it was a dry and sunny day.

Thanks again - this made my day!

Good to hear your latest Pagoda adventures- there is always something to do with a 50+ year old car - and look forward to hearing about your Ponton and 190SL projects, too!
