Some of Kent's Mercedes Benz Collection on Sale! CLICK HERE to view all.
Kent recently turned 78 years old and has decided to start selling his Mercedes collection.
FITS THE FOLLOWING: All Mercedes Chassis 111 113 108 109 107 114 115 116 123 126 from 1968 to 1991 (not applicable for 201 or 124 chassis). This is a very common wear problem on most older Mercedes.
Fits the Following: All 107,116,123 and 126 Chassis from 1973-1991. PLEASE NOTE. These do not work on the W201 or the W124 chassis.
Do not let anyone convince you to install some super platinum, iridium or kryptonite spark plug in your old Benz. They are just not capable of handling the richer fuel mixtures associated with these older engines.
Hard to believe we took so long to come up with this tool. It was Gerson's genius that made it happen. The secret turned out to be the hook that keeps the tool in place while stretching out the rubber donut. Wow! What a cool tool.
Best engine oil filters for your classic R107 or C107. As seen on Cherry.
This socket is the correct size to use with our R107 Fuel Tank Screen Removal Tool ( See below:). It is a heavy-walled 27 mm black impact grade socket made in the U.S.A.
Socket is now black (impact grade). This is a tool that Kent first thought about making 20 years ago. While installing shock absorbers in his 380SL he had finally had enough - so it was back to the machine shop to come up with a new tool.

Improve the ride, handling, and safety of your 1986 to 1989 107 SL convertible and coupe. Yes, shocks play a big part in safety and people often do not know this. Old shocks just wear out slowly so you may not "feel" the problem until you install new Bilsteins!
Improve the ride, handling, and safety of your 1972 to 1985 107 SL convertible and coupe. Yes, shocks play a big part in safety and people often do not know this. Old shocks just wear out slowly so you may not "feel" the problem until you install new Bilsteins!
These are simply the best for your old Benz. They fit all W126 300SD and R107 380SL from 1981 to 1985. They also will fit the W126 380SE, 380SEL, and 500SEL from 1981 to 1985. Very heavy to ship. Watch the video below to see why these are Kent's favorites.
BACK IN STOCK!
You want superior stopping performance as well as minimum brake dust on your wheels - then these pads are what you want. Watch the video below - they are also really pretty! :-)
If you are a 1969 to 1991 V8 you should have some extras of these on hand. They are inexpensive and should be replaced anytime you remove your valve covers. The gaskets will keep a good seal longer than the bolt washers.
These will fit all 1976 to 1991 4.5, 3.8, 5.0 and 5.6-liter V8 engines with Bosch C.I.S fuel injection. PLEASE NOTE: These spark plugs have an aluminum end cap that does screw off. You will receive the plugs with the end cap installed.
You can not believe how many problems Kent has seen over the years as a result of the camshaft oiler tube falling off inside the valve cover! It is held on by inexpensive small plastic clips and guess what happens after 15 to 20 years? Yes, that is correct.
Kent will show you the proper way to remove and replace a V8 valve cover gasket so you won't have oil leaks after installing a new one. This is a common maintenance item.
Here is a brand new set of Rear brake hoses for all 123 chassis 1977-1985 and 126 chassis 1981-1991, both gasoline and diesel models and 116 Chassis 300SD only, and 1973 to 1980 450SL. Also fits 380SL from 1981 to 1985 -- US MODELS ONLY
If your steering is feeling a little weak or mushy replace the steering shock absorber. Easy to install on the cross steering link with only two bolts. It comes with instructions for easy installation!
These are three inexpensive parts that seem to never get replaced when they wear out. If "mechanics" miss these items. Are you losing coolant? Are you losing windshield washer fluid? Do you have unsightly oil on your right valve cover?
The R107 and C107 plastic shift bushings are very common parts that need to be replaced more often than not. Can you believe it is the exact same part that was used on all models for over 25 years! It is an inexpensive part that can cause big problems if it breaks out.
These will fit all 1970 to 1975 3.5 and 4.5 V8 engines with D-Jetronic fuel injection (electronic). Do not use off-brand, platinum or any other "special" spark plug.
Have you ever had a hard time finally a very small coolant leak? Do you find yourself adding small amounts of coolant but can not see any leak? Is there a funny smell coming from inside your Benz when you run the heater?
This is a VERY common maintenance item on the older Mercedes V8 engines. If they are too old they will leak. If they are not put on properly they will leak. If you do any maintenance (ie, valve adjustment, clip replacement, timing chain, guides, etc), you should have this kit on hand.
For all 3.5, 3.8, and 4.2 liter V8 engines from 1969 to 1991 280SE 3.5, 300SEL 3.5, 380SE, 380SEC, 380SEL, 380SL and 420SEL. These THREE are the upper (and easily accessible) plastic guide rails that most often break due to age and heat.
The plastic shift bushing is a very common part that needs to be replaced on older Mercedes. Can you believe it is the exact same part that was used on all models for over 25 years! It is an inexpensive part that can cause big problems if it breaks out.
Fits chassis models W114 W115 W116 R107(except 500SL and 560SL)W123 (do NOT FIT WAGONS) and W126 ( except 500 series 500SEL, 560SEL, 560SEC) from 1972 to 1991.
For many years, we were receiving frantic requests from customers asking for help with removing the fuel tank filter screen from their 1971 to 1989 350SL, 450SL, 380SL, 500SL, or 560SL (the same issue also applies to all SLC coupes). Until recently, we did not have a solution other than to tell
This is a must-have if you have a prized Benz or any car you don't drive often!! If you let any of your cars sit for long periods ( generally over 30 days) without driving them, you can ruin your battery, especially if you let it go completely dead.

We have been informed that there is no plan to manufacture new steering locks again for these classic cars. This will also fit the European R107 280SL.
PLEASE NOTE: Manual(s) are now available in PDF format and are available for viewing when you log into your account at Mercedessource. No printed manuals are shipped. If you own a Mercedes with the M117 V8 engine timing chain failure can really ruin your day!
When used for bleeding or flushing your brake system, a single person can do a rapid fluid flush! No mess and very efficient. Will work on all Mercedes from 1968 to 1995 - Also select 1960's models and most later chassis up to 2006 see list below: 25-minute video instructions are now included.
If the front end of your W107 SL or SLC convertible or coupe wanders on the road or thunks when you go over railroad tracks, you most likely need to install a new front subframe bushing kit. I see this condition even on real low mileage pristine cars.
Emergency brake shoe maintenance is often neglected because the rear brake disc / rotor has to be removed to inspect and repair them. If the car has ever been driven a long distance with the emergency brake on, expect problems.

Purchased from a pilot friend of mine who passed away a few years ago. He purchased in from the original owner back in 1998. He had the engine rebuilt at 200K because he wanted it "right." In the past few years I have owned it, The wagon currently has 214, 000 miles on it.
\Kent purchased it from the original owner in Seattle in 1990, this beauty spent its entire life in the Pacific Northwest and is a rust-free preservation example of a very rare fuel-injected Mercedes. It has NOT been restored but has been well maintained.
Due to its exceptional condition, this is a truly appreciating collector car, and its value will continue to rise in the coming years. It would be very difficult to find a nicer one than this for the price.
All 380SL, 380SE, and 380SEL owners take note. Even if you acquire a nice 380 like Kent's Cherry you are going to need some or all of these components ( unless of course it was recently done by a competent mechanic ).

This deluxe kit includes three products related to the rear-end fuel delivery system for the models mentioned. This is critical if you want to get one of these old V8 engines running properly, especially if it has not been running for a long time.
As a safety preventative measure, replace this hose if it shows signs of hardening or cracking. This hose is under 90 psi; if it cracks and spews fuel, you can have an instant engine fire.
Also will work on (some but not all) 1976 to 1980 280SE, 280SEL, 280SL and 280E. Brand new aftermarket fuel accumulator for the 1976 to 1985 V8 engines. It is mounted near the fuel filter under the back end of the car and hardly ever gets replaced.
Fits all 380SL and 380SLC from 1981 to 1985. This flexible fuel hose connects the outlet of the fuel filter to the metal hard fuel line going from the rear of the 380SL to the engine compartment. This hose is hard to install and hard to inspect.
Why change K-jet injectors when "they are working?" Why change shocks when they feel ike "they are working." The deteration is very slow over time and you may not notice the difference in how the engine starts, runs, accelerates, and delivers mileage until you do this service!
I have used a lot of different clamping tools over the years to prevent fluids from leaking out when removing coolant, fuel, or brake fluid hoses. Most work ok. Some are hard to use in tight places. Many do not stop every last drip from coming out of the hose.
