Here is my all-time favorite gasket maker and sealant. You may already know how I feel about RTV silicone products (I think they should be outlawed!). We have had a number of our customers ask us where to get this so we decided to offer it on our website.
I have been discovering this is one of those maintenance areas that suffers from severe neglect. Failure of the rubber support or center drive shaft bearing can cause all types of improperly diagnosed vibration problems - some commonly change with vehicle speed.

Please DO NOT try to check out online to purchase this vehicle. If you are interested email - sales@mercedessource.com. This is not your typical " super low mileage collector car." Often when these garage queens are purchased the owner assumes he will not have to do any work on it. Surprise!
We have been able to determine that most of the 500 series R107 and W126 of the early to mid 1980s have the same FID setup as the 380 engines.
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 ).
