No datum’s in my Mercedes shop manual. I’ve been looking for chassis manual but no such luck yet. I’ll keep looking.

Tostal, Appreciate the looking for me! Adsitco has a horrible reputation in most Mercedes forums as not giving you what you order (returning them and getting your money back is not going to happen) and the quality is ****. That being said it was years ago that these issues took place and may...

I’ve contacted a couple of places in Germany and asked on Mercedes forums but I have come up with zero suppliers. I have found sedan replacement versions but the gauge thickness is 2 gauges less for rockers and for pans. Won’t hold up well. Also the rockers would have to cut, reformed, and...

Been doing that. They certainly make it look easy…

I’m in the south and I think it’s been only in the south. Mercedes plugged their drain holes when putting in their seam sealers and they rust from inside out and best I can figure out there was a problem with the under coating and it rusted the pans out. The rest of the car has surface rust...

I looked at the rack. I’m not sure how it would work but I’ll try and find a video on it. Agreed about bracing but don’t have skills or a welder to do it. Been thinking about getting a welder. My plan was to fab rockers/ pans and have someone weld them in. No rockers/ pans are available...

You can see the carpet clearly in the photos. Inner rockers and others are toast. All the way down.

Here are some of the pictures. The floor pans are gone to but I’ve not pulled up the carpeting yet to see how extensive it is but we sag when sitting in seat. So I know it’s bad.

It’s a W114 250C model. I’ll look at my Mercedes shop chassis manual but I don’t remember seeing datum’s there but I’ll check again. I’ll look at 4x4 position if possible. There’s nothing there so I’m not how this will work. I’ll try and upload the rocker pictures.

I’ll have to look at it on the web. Never seen one

Is that like a rotisserie?

Greengo, Old Mercedes

Speed, Thought about the self tapping screws but I’m not sure it’ll hold. The car is in a mess. Actually not sure how the roof is holding it all together. Are there places to measure to see where it’s square? I can think of places but not sure if there are right/wrong places.

Are there any websites or YouTube videos out there dealing with putting in structural support for body not to collapse? I’ve watched a ton of ‘Tube but maybe I’ve missed something. Is there a non-welding option for the support? Need to replace rockers and pans. The joy of owning something you...

I thought they came in sets too—various angles/shapes and sometimes thicknesses? I will at TONE. Not bought any yet but lots here say they are great. I’m going to look at KTC too. Not to veer off my thread but what about a budget Japanese gear and seal pullers? Not considering HF.

Do the have a set?

I need to replace my pick set for o-rings and seals. American or Japanese? Where company are you getting them from in Japan?

That helps quite a bit. They are doing a ton of construction of houses here. Being gathering up scrap 2xX when I can. Going to be fairly heavy that’s for sure!

In the South. I was thinking of storing them actually under the deck I have. So partially hidden from rain and sun. This is where I’m temporarily going to store them I think. At least until I build a simple garden shed…garden closet…whatever you want to call it. Been pretty successful...

I like the idea of welded cart but don’t have a welder. They’ve been building houses near me and the extra wood they leave out as scrap/junk I’ll pick it up. It may end up being a Frankenstein stand out and when I finish a couple of projects, it’ll get better attention.
