FOR SALE GROUP BUY: Reproduction SLS Reservoir & Label
- Thread starter Ntrepid
- Start date
Ok guys. Nearly all orders in this Group Buy were shipped today! I expect them to start arriving to you this coming Monday and Tuesday. You can get your tracking update by going the Post #1 in this thread and clicking on the link on your row.
I still have some reservoirs which people committed to and then I could never reach to complete the transaction with payment. For those reservoirs, I am selling them. If you would like to purchase reservoirs and labels, please PM me.
Thanks everyone and I already have plans for the next Group Buy which I announce shortly.
Robert
@Ntrepid and @captruff: Just received my reservoirs and labels. Excellent high quality products. Cannot thank you again enough for the efforts. If anyone can let me know the correct installation directions for the label would be much appreciated. This will be a DIY later today. That brownish circle is driving me nuts when the bonnet is popped open. Will use goo gone spray for cleaning the old label residue.
Thank you all!
Thank you all!
We had a little gathering on Sunday morning of @Ntrepid, @linjam, @ace10 and myself for a handoff of the new reservoirs and stickers. I'm enjoying my FOUR reservoirs and SIX stickers, and am already plotting the replacement of the reservoir in my 560SEC in the future.
It was great to meet @ace10 in person finally and learn how a "real OG" Flipper Detective thinks and sees things.
A couple of the extra reservoirs will be funding my retirement in the future, at a price of €5.000— apiece. This is for the days when they are not even available from aftermarket sources.
They're disappearing into my darkened, climate-controlled basement parts shelving for that coming day.

Well, you can see it on my Top-End project journal thread, where I installed a factory NOS reservoir with the sticker as it came from MB. I guess that would be the correct way to orient the sticker.
By the way, to do the job really correctly, you should also get the rubber grommet that fits into the bracket that the "foot" of the reservoir goes into, in the metal bracket. It's just not complete without replacing that piece of rubber.

Much appreciated. Will head over there.
There is no need to do that.
Just follow these instructions, and get it for free.
Many Thanks!
I WILL TAKE 2 UNITS TOO
Package received. Thanks Robert!
From the packages which were mailed out on Saturday, there are two (@vatc5637 & @skikrazey) who are still awaiting delivery (very odd that people in California got theirs on Monday but VA and PA recipients still awaiting delivery) as well as all international destinations.
There are still a couple of reservoirs and labels available if anyone needs them. Look at the table in the first post and identify a row which corresponds to what you want to buy and PM me for availability. You can then PayPal the amount.

The vaunted USPS hard at work . . . . I should've followed my initial thought and just taken a nice drive in the 500E and picked it up from you in NoVA.

Apparently "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" begs for interpretation of how swift is defined. :-/
Would have been great to see you. Still want to do an informal DC GTG at the end of Summer.
Robert
We have one more US delivery to be confirmed. @skikrazey has been waiting since last Saturday for the USPS to traverse 160 miles between our two homes. :-(
Most European deliveries are in country at this point!

Finally received package with contents intact!!! How the USPS works is one of the great mysteries of the modern age!
Robert thank you again for doing this group buy and you outstanding communication through out the entire process!!!
Anyone want to start a petition to the MB Classic Center to make a production run of our Euro headlights! or Body Cladding? or any other bits we really need? Don't know if you don't try.

Yes. All W124, W126, and W201 chassis shares the same part.
You will be purchasing the last unit.
Robert
I’ve had the postcard dropped in today by the post office advising I need to pay duty, so that’s done and they’re delivering it on Wednesday. Far sooner than I anticipated.
ETA: It was delivered this morning. Very pleased with the quality of both the tank and the labels.
Many thanks again.

Aside from @500AMM's order which is going to accompany a larger shipment he is arranging and @peets500 completing his initial order commitment, this Group Buy is CLOSED.
If you need a reservoir, you will have to use the first post to find someone who may part with theirs.
I still have labels if needed.
