Group Buy - Engine Dampers

[VXdeMayo]

Dear Matt,
I hope you have sorted out the damper allocations now, and just to remind you that I would like a set if there are any left! If it is any easier I can pay via paypal for those (and the toolkit I bought yesterday) at the same time? Postage would then be easier as they could go together?
Best,
Chas and Anne.

Following notification on Tuesday that there were some "No Shows" the final number of damper sets that are now available is FIVE.  I have tried to give these members advance notification, PM's, direct emails, a posting on this thread advising four days notice and still no response - so I personally I think I have been fair and given people ample opportunity to get in contact and make payment.

The following people have expressed an interest in purchasing the five sets.

Zagato - Richard
RossoCorsa - Alan
VXdeMayo - Chas
Rodney3010 - Rodney
Cheeky Monkey - Graham

I am looking to get this wrapped up fairly quickly as its dragged on and I'll be honest, events have kind of taken the shine off this endeavour.

Hi Matt

I know it has been somewhat disappointing, but I think you should take heart from those who did come through with their order and especially for those who stepped up to fill the hole and not leave you with an unexpected bundle to sell. This forum for me is still one of best I visit regularly, looking forward to putting some faces to names next year hopefully...

Chas & Graham yours are in the post already.  Alan yours will go in post Tuesday morning.

My thanks go to those who have stepped up and purchased the surplus sets.  It is very much appreciated.

Dear Matt and all,
Received dampers today, drilled out and cleaned up. Jobs a good un!
They are great. Make me realise how bad my one's actually were!
Well done and thanks Matt.
Best,
Chas.

You are lucky
Can anyone unveil the parts numbers? As far as I know they are of stabilus and febi make. Maybe I will dig and find any dampers here in Poland... Opel omega (vauxhall carlton?) 2.5V6 uses something similar.

[MattNoVAT]

If you want to order these for yourself you can do from the following sites:

Cam Belt side Engine Damper:

http://faparkes.epicoriscala.com/Default.aspx

FA Parkes Stock Code: 42787
Supplier stock code is: 2611YY

Use the Search facility and use the Supplier (Stabilus) Stock Code 2611YY as the criteria.


Gearbox side Engine Damper:

Use Ebay and search under item number: 250836085717

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCEDES-200-300-C-E-G300-DIESEL-ENGINE-BELT-DAMPER-/250836085717?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a66feebd5&_uhb=1#ht_2130wt_922

[lukasdeopalenica]

Thank you Matt. Here you can see the damper from opel/vauxhall 2.5V6. Seems to be similar.

[MattNoVAT]

Yes, I looked at these but this only fits the gearbox side - and not sure of availability in UK (maybe Germany its better because Opel build cars there).  All I could find was used Omega dampers and price was similar to a new Mercedes damper - so it was an easy decision.

I looked for a modern equivalent that we could buy off the shelf and make minimal modification to fit to a Beta.

[Zagato]

I think you will find that the Vauxhall Part number is 90129493 but these are now listed as No Longer Supplied - but it may not be the correct part number, you really need to supply exact vehicle details if you can find a vehicle to take the details off eg chassis number  ... and then take it from there

The equivalent Opel Part number is 6 84 452 ... but I do not know if they are still available in Europe

You may find one in one of the Obsolete Parts Specialists in Germany ... only to find it isn't the correct one!
