Jaime is the KING of OE replacement parts.
But in this case, he seems to like his replacemnt custom sheet metal throttle gizmo is better than the OE german plastic. Personaly I like the price of the custom unit very much.
The bike is upset the Jalopy cost me a whole 4K less.
That shop vac was put to good use sucking out 20 years of leaves and debris.
Open up an say Ahhhhh.
Jaime says its normal operating procedure to break all the little bulbs when you take out the HVAC controls.
Ahhhhhhhhh.
Jaime used super glue to fix this gizmo. Although Gary says he is the king of buying parts, this Jalopy does not warant new gizmos.
Jaime says he likes the crate motor. He has pioneered methods on how to identify MB Crate motors. 1: Sticker on front of valve cover.
2: No blowby. 3: Perfect Cams Jaime says these Jalopy features are of the bad kind. Better to have dents and such great visuals.
Ahhhhhhhh.
Jaime is a pioneer.
These methods are original.
And trade marked.
Left hand in pocket, thumb out. This is the proper way to work on a W126 and still retain that 80's snobish flare.
Dam that cam looks good.
Its almost brand new.
Chain is very very slightly streched.
Finaly that electric vac pump has gone to that junk yard in the sky.
This is what you need to fit Ghetto wheels to a 126.
Here is the brighter variety.
