Mercedes Kit Car Help Required

[Keith]

A friend needs help with his Acme Classic Mercedes build. He says it doesn't feel quite right when he drives it. Can anyone point him in the right direction? :shrug: (pun intended)

 

[Martin]

Looks like he's got the same build manual I've got.

 

[Frank Catt]

Keith, I have lost count of the number of times I have tried to wipe away that annoying little bug on your posts - gets me every time ! Frank

 

[Jack]

You and me both, Frank!

 

[Randy V]

X2 on that bug...

Parking must be a real Bugger eh?

 

[Brian Hamilton]

I'd bet parallel parking that thing is easy. LOL It's the driving down the road that's gotta be a pain...

 

[JoeTreu]

Looks good to me... Wait, I see the problem, not an OE style Mercedes front grill.

 

[Jack]

Builder confused on which medications to take that day........

 

[Jac Mac]

For Frank & Randy, apply liberally to offending insect.

 

[Keith]

Ah! The annoying little insect... Yes. Well, I got him eventually; sent in a Swat team, :laugh: but it cost me a screen! :furious:

Now, we seem to have those annoying cliff jumpers back.. Where will it all end? :shifty:

 

[David Morton]

Push or Jump? It's still the best by far. I think it appeals to our sadistic side..........

 

[Frank Catt]

Now I miss it !

 

[Chris Headon]

Keith - I see what the problem is, it cannot be the Rad grill as the driver cannot see that, it must be the windscreen wipers, Mercs tend to have a mechanism to elongate the swept area, these obviously do not, it must be very offputting for the driver. i would suggest a complete strip down and fitting of a single OE wiper to create the right effect. That should do it. Other than that it looks just fine
