Link to radiator neck DIY kits: https://mercedessource.com/store/search?keys=radiator%20neck Plastic tank radiator upper neck failure is all too common. Some have lost engines due to rapid coolant loss and severe overheating.. Others have “lucked out” like I did in the case of the 1990 300SL. Can you believe the radiator neck fell off in my hands in my shop with I removed the neck hose clamp. In this video I will discuss the old kit I have available to reinforce the neck BEFORE it breaks as well as the new kit I sell to fix a broken neck like you will see in this video. No actual repair details are shown in this video. Just a quick overview of the problem with before and after pictures of the R129 radiator neck repaired.
This is a must see. Within the first 15 seconds you will see a bolt of lighting hit just beyond where I was filming towards the upper right hand of the screen. Now before you all start with the comments, I was in my truck (an UNGROUNDED object) and the window was just down far enough for the camera to capture. The train was CSX Q410-06 and this was filmed at the Annapolis Junction during a severe thunderstorm and a flash flood warning.
