CSV fuel inlet fitting
« on: November 01, 2022, 23:45:19 »
The threads for my fitting between the CSV and fuel line are beyond hope.  Does anyone know where you can buy one of these?

You might try MB Classics for an OEM fitting.  Also suggest calling Buds Benz….a possible source for used.
Q? have you tried cleaning up threads with a die on the one side and a tap on the other and then Teflon tape to salvage?

MERRILL
 Now that’s a very useful link!  Looks like they have all sorts of obscure OEM parts.  Thx.

hi
sls is a great resource to look things up, 

https://www.niemoeller.de/en/w113/w113/B042
is another one.

what i have done in the past is grab a screen shot of the schematic and e mailed the classic center to see if they have the part.
this also works for everyone else (K&K, Authentic classics, sl tech, vintage euro etc)

are you having an issues re connecting all the parts back together?
when i purchased new fuel lines i had a hard time re connecting those items because the new line was not bent just right.
what i did was to remove the CSV from the intake which gave me more freedom to wiggle parts together,  then carefully re install the csv into the intake manifold.

Thanks Merrill.  SLS has 3 in stock.  Much appreciated.
