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!

Brand new Genuine OEM silver wheel center cap. Make those wheels look beautiful again! Fits all 14 inch alloys on 107 116 114 115 123 and 126 chassis
to 1985 with the bundtcake style wheels. If you need more than one, just change your quantity in the cart!

Front suspension overhaul is almost always left until one has fixed everything else on the car. We know that most owners can live with some looseness in the suspension, especially when you consider the age of the 116 chassis. But if you want to restore that great Mercedes factory feel and ride (that we all love!) there is no short cut but to replace all the rubber and wear parts in the lower section of your front suspension. NOTE: This kit does not include the upper control arms as we have found many have already replaced those as they often fail first. If yours have not been replaced and you want the full deal, then we recommend you also order those separately. CLICK HERE.

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.

Set of left and right 110 chassis bulb holders.  Only fits early models up to 1965.  No perfect but no heavy corossion or rust. Set of left and right side

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 rubber shaft boots that fit right under the wiper arm. Genuine Mercedes part. these are often torn or cracked. Two per car. Fits all models 126 sedans from 1981 to 1991.

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!

Finally a socket to remove your fuel tank screen that really works. Most correct size sockets tend to be SO BIG that they require 3/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions to use them. Who has those in their tool box?? Even if you did, when trying to get up above the rear axle with a big clunky 3/4 ratchet to remove the screen can be an exercise in total frustration and failure.

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.

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.
