123, Body

IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not sell replacement antenna masts by year and model. We have run across too many problems with confusion, interchangeability, and previously swapped antennas. We sell a SMOOTH TAIL mast and a TOOTHED TAIL mast. Smooth tails were used on most of the power Hirschmann antennas up to the early 80's and tooth tails were used on the later masts. For you to order the proper one you must partially remove your current mast and inspect. Is the white plastic tail more or less smooth or does it have teeth in it? The one describe here is the TOOTHED style.

CLICK HERE to view the smooth style.

This new shift knob fits all 4 speed diesel transmissions from 1969 to 1983. It is an aftermarket replacement that is made out of hard plastic rather than rubber, so it will not deteriorate like the original style. Good quality at a good price!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT, JUST INFORMATION WE WILL BE PROVIDING ON THE WEBSITE. STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION! This question could well be the number one request we receive from new customers. The question seems to be popping up frequently now as many people are buying these old diesels for the first time hoping to convert them to run on alternative fuel. It is a great idea and can be a rewarding endevour IF you find the right car to begin with and are willing and able to repair it yourself.

I like this - permanent - threadlocker because it is super strong but can still be removed with a heavy handed breaker bar. This is a very large bottle for the price and is a must have for Mercedes diesel owners. I use it anytime I am doing major repair work on an engine or transmission. Great for front crank bolt, cam bolt, torque converter bolts, injection pump mounting nuts, front engine accessories, brake caliper bolts, front suspension, etc. Anything that you can just not afford to come loose.

This removable thread locker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and cures rapidly and reliably when confined between metal parts. Use it to lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts. This is the removable type (meaning that it can be easily removed with hand tools). Comes in small .20 Fl oz. bottle great for most small jobs.

Excellent for all work around diesel engines to prevent vibration failure and breakdowns. If you need the red more permanent type CLICK HERE.

This permanent thread locker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and dries hard in 20 to 60 minutes. Use it to securely lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts. This is the permanent type (meaning that it is possible to remove only when applying heat to 450 degress F - with propane torch) or a very heavy breaker bar. I like to use this one on brake caliper bolts as it is such a critical bolt.

Excellent when retaining bearings and bearing races, freeze plugs, rocker arm and main bearing studs, etc. Can fill gaps up to .007 and assures positive controlled locking.

Here is an inexpensive set of cleaning brushes that really get down in the crevices. The plastic one is good for exterior cleaning around the window and body trim. The brass is good for cleaning engine parts you don't want to scratech. The steel one is excellent if you are doing some rust repair.

Hard to find plastic shaft boots that fit right under the wiper. Genuine Mercedes part. these are often broken or cracked. Two per car. Fits all models 123 sedans coupes and wagons from 1977 to 1985

If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly you should use a torque wrench. In fact if you do your own work you should have a 1/2 inch clicker torque wrench in your tool box. I know why you don't have one. They tend to be expensive for the limited amount you might use one. Well, now you can get a quality one for a very good price. This is a special offer and we only have a limited number in stock.

It comes with a nice moulded plastic case and instructions. This wrench is 18 inches long for good hand torque and it is made in Taiwan. Much better quality than those made in China.

 

When changing a front door seal on one of the above chassis you most likely will ending up need new attachments clips (along front edge of door). The majority of the old clips will break when you try to remove them. This set of 6 clips from Mercedes Benz are enough to do one front door.  NOTE: Back door clips on all chassis except the 126 have different clips. These are sure to make installation go more smoothly. 

If you need door seals call or email us. There are vin splits on some models that make it hard to list all. We have great prices on these new seals.

We also have full door seal replacement instructions with special tools. CLICK HERE to order.  

Good used Bosch H4 headlight with flat face design. Only one. Does not include H4 bulb. If you are using these headlights you know how great they are!  May want to pick up a spare in case one of yours gets broken by a rock - and it does happen!

Looking for a solution to solve your 114 115 116 123 or early 126 chassis power antenna problems? In my humble opinion the original power antennas on all 1985 and older Mercedes are justing getting too old to mess with anymore. I have tried myself to rebuild them only to have them fail again in another area. You can send them out for professional overhaul but that is expensive. Unless every electrical and mechanical part inside is replaced problems may return. New original exact replacements are no longer available.

New set of replacement black plastic left and right side intake air grills. These fit right below the wipers and will fit on all 123 chassis sedans, coupes and wagons from 1977 to 1985. Sorry no clips are included. You must use clips from your existing grills.

 

Factory fuel hose that goes from the fuel tank strainer to the metal feed pipe just above your rear axle. Fits all 116 diesel 300SD, and 123 240D 300D and 300CD and all 126 chassis diesels 300SD 300SDL 350SD/L. If you are noticing fuel wetness under your rear end it is usually this hose that is leaking. They get old and brittle and finally fail.

If you need a complete fuel hose replacement kit either in standard rubber or biodiesel spec hoses we also carry those. Just type description into search box on the right.

If you plan to do much work on your Mercedes these metric wrenches and sockets are very desireable - if not a necessity. If you have wanted to add to your tool box but not spend a lot of money here is your chance. These are not Snap On quality wrenches but if you only work on cars ocassionally these are more than adequate to get the job done. Set includes metric crows feet, metric 3/8 inch drive hex (Allen) sockets, and metric 1/4 inch drive socket set 5 to 14 mm. These items are also available separately. To see a list of all our tools CLICK HERE.

Long drive pin punches are very handy when working on your Benz. The smaller size in this set is particularly helpful when removing and replacing twin pin style brake pads. All steel. Made in India.

Not only does this set include almost 100 pieces but it includes metric sized allen (hex) bits and even an attachment to remove a wing nut! How cool is that? Most kits don't contain metric sizes. There are probably enough screwdriver bits in this kit to last you for a very long. Comes in nice molded red case.

Being locked out of your 123 trunk can be very frustrating, especially if you left the ignition keys inside when you closed the trunk lid! If you are locked out and still have your keys sometimes you may not be able to open the trunk due to a failed locking mechanism. And there is no way to get through the back seat to open it from inside either. In this short manual (Sourcelet) I will describe the tricks I have learned to get into a trunk that will not open....and do it fast! SKU: SCL-123ETL

Great set of metric open end wrenches to get into those real tight places. Metric sizes from 10 to 19 mm. Made in India. They use the standard 3/8 inch drive extension as long as you need to work at right angles in restricted space. Only 10 sets available at this price!

Here is a great set of metric wrenches at a fantastic price that you can afford to cut, grind, heat and bend for all those instances where you need a specical wrench to get into a tight place. These are a black oxide finish so you won't have a problem with the chrome chipping or peeling off after modification. They are made in India and I have found they are a little tougher than the cheap sets coming out of China. Sizes range from 6 mm to 24 mm. The other nice thing about these wrenches is the open end heads are thinner than most other wrenches and will allow you to get onto narrower nuts. And if they are still too thick you can grind them thinner!!

Every tool box should have this set!

On Sale for the month of August! We are now offering a kit with 2 new complete tie rod assemblies and a tool to remove the old ones. Note: Plan to have a front end alignment check done after replacement. This can be done at any good tire or front end alignment shop. This is a very common wear item on older 123 chassis sedans coupes and wagons. Often if one is worn the other is not far behind, so we always recommend replacing them as a set.

Instructions included: Kit comes with a tip sheet of illustrated instructions on how to get the old ones off and the new ones adjusted and on your car.

Regular price is $ 74.50

Good complete set of sunroof slides removed from a 1978 300D Sedan. This includes all fittings and hardware as shown in this picture. If your slides or brackets are damaged or bent, these will make a great replacement. I can confirm that these are an exact match for '77-'79 sunroofs, but I cannot confirm that every piece is exactly the same for the later model 123's. So if you purchase please make sure these parts will fit your particular model.

Very good used chrome grill surround. Fits all 123 chassis 1977-1985. Chrome is not pitted or damaged on the outside and no major dents. If you do need a plastic insert and chrome strips, these are also available on our website.

New OEM and direct from Germany! This is the critical thick rubber seal located at your fuel tank outlet screen just above your right rear axle. More often than not this seal is badly deteriorated due to diesel fuel contamination and age. This seal prevents fumes, moisture and road debris from entering your trunk.

When cleaning or changing your fuel tank screen it would be a good time to replace this seal. You do not need to remove the fuel tank but you will need to remove the four anchor bolts (two on each side of tank) to allow lifting the tank enough to slide the seal in place. Silicone or Goop should be used between the tank and the upper lip of the seal to help hold in place. Next time you are under your 123 inspect this seal.
