Thumbs up w124 and AMG badges? AMG HAMMER and rare w124s

I posted earlier about where the badge goes and i did some searching and found these pictures. So the E-60 w124 does have the badge on the right. Also learned that the AMG ducktail did not always have it molded in to be correct. I will also soon get get one in the picture with the line under it.

To make sure your installing the badge on the correct side just look at the pictures. If you have an AMG ducktail then it goes on the left and if you don't it goes on the right.

that e60 was a 94-95, which is when they officially changed over to badges ont he right.

That was when mercedes took over AMG.

Before then, pre 94, all AMG badges were on the left.

If I can't find me center caps then that means you won't find those seats.

those recaros were all over the place back in the day. i dont recall the model but they were in lots of different cars. what you need to worry about is the rails and how they attach.

They also look like mustang seats but these have the
AMG badge on them and are power seats. I haven't seen them anywhere with power switches like that.

the center cars for my old school hammers are smaller than the standard three inch Mercedes size. The size of my caps are 2.5"

i've been in two cars w/ those seats. one is a super tight '80 300td w/ a 5.0 under the hood. the car is registered as a diesel here in the states, the whole car is pretty amazing. built by AMG has 560 front and rear suspension. and the other car i've driven has been a SEC w/ a 6.0 in it w/ dual cams. i guess the heads were custom built by AMG its got solid lifters!! and a wide body......... next time these cars come back into the shop imma snap some pix

Some mb had this problem with the fuel line going to the fuel distributor that made it leak because the rubber of the hose would melt and make it catch on fire!. When i got my w124 i notice this and changed it i also added a heat shield wrap that i got at summitracing.com.

Very easy to find all that vintage AMG stuff today....eBay.de !! AMG even has some stock left on their shelves for W124s. Contact Gunther Riesse there...he speaks good English....but be prepared to open your wallet.


I just GAVE AWAY 4 new center caps for the old stlyee AMG Aero 1s....didn't know they were so rare....were in my toolbox for say, 10 years...
