  Listing here is for ONE (1) only mirror mount chromed Special Screw used to adjust tension between the inside mirror stem and the mirror arm.  By sandwiching the mirror stem with a wavy spring washer into the end of the mirror mount stem, it allows adjustment tension of the up-down movement of the mirror itself without letting the mirror flop around unattended.  Display of others is just to show that we have accumulated a few of these extra over time.  We have found no replacements for the wavy type spring washers in this thinness for this application.  Too often lost these are often more difficult to find than the mirrors themselves.  The screw head was originally chrome plated and may be deteriorated slightly but not so that it would show enough to worry over.
  Note that the correct mount Wavy Spring washer for this application can also be found in another of our eBay listings.  Both are listed separately from our Cadillac Mirror Stems' listings in case your mirror mount screw or wavy washer is lost and you actually need a screw or washer for this application.
  These are likely applicable to some Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick General Motors cars and maybe they were used more years than from our experience from 1957 until 1964 such as 1955 1956 or 1965 and 1966; but we don't have references for them other than 1957-64 Cadillac.  
NOTICE: in the third picture there is shown the mount screw and wavy washer and also shows a dished external lock washer.  We found only this lock washer used on the 1957 (or earlier) Cadillac mirror stem and none since that year.  But the lock washer was very helpful (when used) to keep the mirror adjusted to good performance and not difficult to move nor left flopping on its own.  I don't have source for these dished lock washers but have found that flat star lock washers can be used successfully for this application if they are not very thick nor too stiff; and will often curve adequately into place when installed.
  Look to another of our listings if you also need the special wavy spring washer.  E-Mail questions.  PayPal available and required by me from bid winner outside the U.S.A.  Winner pays $2.00 USPS 1st Class S&H and $1.00 Insurance within continental U.S.A.  Outside the U.S. e-Mail with complete delivery address (not just country) for shipping calculations.  Returns only allowed for items delivered not as described in the listing.  We always try to combine shipment of multiple purchases to help save the purchaser on shipping cost.  If you buy both a washer and screw, there will only be shipping charge for 1 item.

Mercedes F125 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Concept leaks

Mon, 12 Sep 2011

Mercedes F125 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Concept It’s probably going to be like this for a few days, with leaks ahead of reveals as Frankfurt looms. Now we have a bit of a surprise from the boys at Benz, with the leak of a photo of the Mercedes F125 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Concept. Possibly pointing the way to the next generation S-Class – or maybe the one after, or the one after that, or… – the big gullwing coupé comes with a proper set of green credentials and, for a real change, green credentials with a future.
