Raizer

If the battery still doesn't cut it, those look like good sized horn speakers to mount in the front bumper of an E class...

Still tossing up between making/buying lowering links or just adjusting the height parameters once we get Xentry sorted out.

There is indeed huge big long bolts from one end to the other!

Yes, had equal length headers on my old wagon, got rid of the rumble and generally improved the sound.

You likely just need a bigger pilot jet. Or better still a non China carb.

My van rucs has ended in 076 since it was imported ha

It goes from the end of the current label. If you go over then buy more it essentially just backpays what you used.

Good point, the wheel spacers that failed cert on the Merc were never spotted by anyone in NZ until it went for the cert, so I doubt anyone at the local vtnz is going to spot wobbly nuts lol Oh lol and after all that with the spacers falling cert it turns out they were a factory fitted Mercedes part with the optional upgrade Carlsson wheels, not that it matters in the slightest now.

Wobble nuts/bolts for pcd change, I see in the lvvta info that they "should not be used" on a vehicle getting a cert. But what about WOF? No spacers etc just wobble hardware with snug hub centric rings locating the wheels?

I've always used a gasket scraper

Neither did mine on my 140, till the glue bonding the friction material on completely let go and the front wheel locked solid lol

There's a manifold design that would most likely solve your packaging issues...

Might as well go the whole hog and cable tie a set of plastic hubcabs over the freshly blacked wheels.

It's up to the individual certifier's discretion, there's no official minimum (I went through this with my Merc, it failed on having only 1mm engagement to the CB.) How thick of a spacer are you planning on running? If you go slightly thicker than the length of the centering hub then there is stepped spacers that make it easy.
