I also fixed the foglight on my 107 today.

Have now tried the clear coat Hopefully means the bolts are not horribly rusty in only a few days. I will need to be very careful fitting the bolts/wheels.

After a couple of days the bolts are rusty again. I think I am going to try clear coating the heads. I'll have to clean them again before I do this obviously and then wrap the heads in tape as I put the bolts on the car. Smearing a bit of copper grease on the threads should stop them rusting.

Tyres are now mounted. More here: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/09/choosing-tyres-for-my-15x7-amg-penta-wheels/

New place looks great. And those cars look well stripped - good that you were able to save all the good parts off them.

I've not actually fitted them yet. with the lockdowns I have not been able to spend much time at the small warehouse unit where I store the cars. The wheels are pretty light, so makes sense they could buckle a bit. I need to fit the Pentas on the 450SLC first. Then I am going to use...

Starting to look better.

Lloyds results today.

Still looks good. Mercedes still sell the centre caps for these wheels if you don't have them, even with pre-merger AMG logo.

Looks awesome. It was seeing these on your car that convinced me to get a set. Took a while to find them, but I am happy I did.

Congrats on the new business!

My guess is CSA, but I will need to give them a far better clean to see if I can find evidence of that. At this stage, I am not even sure if they are 6" or 6.5"

My bolts were not up to the quality of the wheels so I have been playing with cleaning them. FIrst I used the autosol metal life saver which made a difference. But they were still rusty. I soaked the ends in the autosol stuff for 4 days and they are much better, could now rub off most of...

Tyres now mounted. ] Went with Michelin Primacy 4.

Does anyone have any experience with Bundt copies made in Australia? Looks like my set were made in 1988. They seem a high quality copy as it would appear they have the steel inserts for the lug bolts. I imagine they are cast, not forged like the genuine Fuchs units, but I really have no...

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I think the issue with the dealers is that there wouldn't be anyone working there who was around when these cars are new, and most of the dealer techs are used to the modern Mercedes still in warranty. Better to find a good independent. Yes, please do post...

I had them done at Barrel Bros in milperra. There were so many bad coats of paint that they needed a complete back to metal refinish. Two of them were also very slightly bent so needed to be fixed. Total cost was $1490. Not cheap, but the wheels are now as new and to take them back to...
