W115, Diesel Engine Repair

240D spun rod bearing and can't find parts!

I'm trying to find undersize rod bearings for a 1976 240D I just picked up. Seems to be pretty easy to find standards but that's it. Is it possible to return a crank journal to the standard size if the bearings aren't available? The engine was totally rebuilt a few years ago but... kid driving, hole punched in oil pan, ran out of oil and that's it.

115 front seat belt issue.

Hi all I'm in a bit of a fix with the local car authorities. I currently have 2-point seatbelts in my W115 (one near the shoulder, the other in the middle of the bench seat). They are saying that I can fix a 3-point seat belt in my W115 and consequently refused to let me renew my license until I change it. My mechanic though is saying there is no where to bolt the third point (somewhere under the shoulder). Can anyone confirm which of the two is right? Mark

SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER FAILURE ON 76 300D

THE ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER RECENTLY QUIT WORKING ON MY BENZ. RIGHT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY QUIT, I NOTICED THE NEEDLE FOR THE SPEEDOMETER BOUNCED AROUND ALot, then...nothing. some of the lights, such as glow plug, brake sensor and battery lights still work, but the regular illuminary dash lights do not. I replaced the bulbs, but still no light. Also the old becker radio did not work and i pulled it out, but can't seem to figure out what config. to hook up a cd player. could the radio issue be related to the failures on the instrument cluster?
