"Send more Chuck Berry."

Hey, Dan. Can you see what this unit sold for? (I think you may have Copart powers I don't have...) https://www.copart.com/lot/58944381/clean-title-1969-mercedes-benz-280sl-nj-trenton

Sigh. This is the sale price that emboldened me to list mine last year. I do think it's very likely a different market now, so unless the seller/consignee REALLY wants to fund his 992 purchase with this, it has all the earmarks of RNM.

Just lovely. Coincidentally, you must be the second of two Byrons I know in Tiburon...the first is a friend who sails out of the Corinthian...

Not an expert, but I literally initiated a solar installation plan at my house in Illinois today, oddly enough. At least here (and through the technology I'm aware of), you are returning domestically generated electricity to the grid through your utility to get a kWh offset and lower bills, and...

Thanks. I'm having impure thoughts about something that may or may not have an engine: https://www.copart.com/lot/58944381/clean-title-1969-mercedes-benz-280sl-nj-trenton

Hey, Dan, when Copart listings say "No" in the engine field, what does that mean exactly? Most of these obviously have engines...the 928 in particular... Just curious.

Thanks, Luis! I'll give the uncrimping a shot. If I blow that, I'll get the newer Bosch unit and follow the tii forum instructions.

Probably good advice, Steve, thanks. You're talking about the Bosch 69412? That seems to be mentioned most often. Other than an in-tank option. https://www.ebay.com/itm/372954404615?_ul=IN

Nope. Not the hoses. Replaced them (with the right clamps, thanks Don) and it's the dreaded o-ring inside the pump, with the leak source visible in slo-mo video. Replacements rings now on order, per Luis' helpful thread from years ago: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/fuel-pump-leaking.15626/...

I'm half ignorant here, too, so based on my scouring of other fuel pump posts on the forum, this is an electric pump that has a sump/reservoir attached underneath via a bracket, for gravity reasons, and not the filter. Don's comment from 2017: "It's a reservoir or sump for fuel. Needed on cars...

Looking deeper at the options here. I suspect the second connection here--the cracked hose, right? I can get a 19-year-old to stand there and make sure with a faceful of gas, but...

Yeah, it's a shower. Mine is injection. M30B34 engine out of a 535i. The restoration is about 10 years old...so the pump and hoses are in that age range. This was after a spirited ~300-mile weekend event, but the problem didn't start until it was parked overnight. I suspect a faulty pump/rings...

So, this happened: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4OoFwB132Mk While my garage airs out, and before I stick my head up there, any armchair diagnosticians have an opinion on whether a fuel pump itself would leak this badly, or is this just a loose line? Thanks in advance...

Grand Rapids? I think he just surfaced on the FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383550528727429/user/1833210416/

Thanks, all. Taking the simplest route, I managed to "adapt" some current X5 caps from my local dealer ($17 each). They sit flush with the wheels, but good enough for now. I will keep my eyes open for some more, um, erect options in the future.

That's my fallback. Actually, there are aftermarket Chevy caps that are in the 63mm range, but they're flush with the edge of the hole. I'm holding out hope for something with some height, like the ones pictured.

So, my tire guys reshod my wheels today and returned one of them with a broken center cap, of course. So now I'm in the unfortunate position of trying to source what might be unobtainable. First, I need to figure out what these actually are, if the minds here can spot them for me. Help? These...

There was this one: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/1116505-1969-911-porsche-s.html

I assume you've poked around the Pelican for-sale posts. There are several disast--I mean projects there right now.
