Ever See Hydraulics on a Mercedes Before?

Pics from a show today. FK 1000P topped with Zymol Ebony (even though this is meant for single stage black still did an excellent job on my car), Aquawax, and 425.



And for your pervs...

Really off topic, but a little tip I use on the lug connectors on the power cables coming from the battery. Instead of crimping them and flattening out the connector and wire making them flat and (IMO) ugly you can do this. Put the lug in a bench clamp with the opening facing up, cut off a good amount of solder and put it in the lug, then hit it with a blow torch. After the solder is melted and bubbling, plunge the exposed wire in there. In an instant it will solder the wire to the lug and makes the best connection you can get, and it doesn't flatten the wire or the lug! Throw on some heatshrink, and you've got a nice professional looking connection.

Not perfectly cleaned up or anything, but you get the point.

I like it. I always thought bags gave a better ride though?

Within the last ten years, accumulators have really revolutionized hydraulics. I will put up a ride test against any bagged car ;)

Well..... yeah, that works too... Looks nice.



The method I suggested still works well for doing the ground or under engine mounts (to the alt, ect).
 
Thats bad! Where did you get the suspension done? Are you able to post pics of it raised and pics of the suspension such as the rams etc. Just to see what it looks like on a mercedes. Thanks!
