    Yes I have one.

    Found it the other day in the storage compartment below the seat. Looks like the one in the photos shown. Is there a difference between 460 and 463.

    Nice free-bee from the previous owner.

    Will bring it on Saturday.

    Cheers

    Anton

    Thanks for the offer but the 460s have 2 different types depending on year and the 463s have their own one all together!

    I used a 32 or 34 socket and took it to an engineering place to make the points for me it worked very well.

    Will post pics if need be?

    I am thinking it might be down to that. 1800 bucks is also a lot of labour. You could probably get MB to do the job. I doubt they have that tool though.

    Aberg might have the tool taken over from M-B Culemborg (they bought all old tools from M-B when M-B went technician way) although I wouldnt waste time with them. Walked in, asked a question and walked out with no intention of dealing with them in future. This was years ago, dont remember the specifics, just the outcome.

    It shouldnt be too difficult to make one. Just needs hardening as the nut needs to be tightened to 200Nm.

    Hi Naeem

    Could you also confirm your bearing numbers? 32011 and 32010 seem to be the generic part numbers. I know that the outer bearing from MB is over 1k each. I am trying to determine if there is something special about the outer bearing i.e. the one that presses up to the hub face. Generic PN seems to be 32011? Is there is another letter(s) after the 32011 ie 32011XQ or 32011X?

    Perhaps a picture if you could spare it?

    Also dod you have to rechrome your hubs? Do you know the specs for the diameters of the inner and outer hub?

    Hi,

    The numbers on the bearings are 32010XQ and 32011XQ for the inner and outer ones respectively. MB quoted me R1 160 for the outer. The inner is much cheaper.

    They are made by SKF. But check with Alan Husgen as he think that we can get it from another supplier at a fraction of the price.

    I didnt chrome the hubs.

    I can take pics tonight and e-mail them to you.

    Whats your e-mail addy?

    Regards
