W124 mercedes E Class jacking Points (rear )

[boyd]

Hi my 1993 W124 220TE has the usual jacking point / sill corrosion at the rear   I am looking to repair them   the Cylinder for the factory jack is OK its just the sill and the Pad base and where the sill joins the Factory Jack Hole  Piccies below  i saw post from  TurboDieselweasel the 124 turbo diesel man that said he knew the guy that made the weld repair plates for this  PM'd fro details but not heard anything yet    Car Mechanics did an article where they repaired one using W201 Repair Parts  I'll put this up on a 2nd post   Obviously If I can get the repair parts direct it would be cheaper than paying the Merc Dealer prices  Thanks Boyd

I am also looking at welding this myself just done a Level 1 City and Guilds in MIG welding at nightschool and am looking to purchase a Sealey Supermig 150 ( recently reccomended by Car mechanics magazine again ) or a Clarke 150 MIG welder

Hey Boyd, I found your thread, thanks for posting the magazine article, very useful and the penny just dropped on something I was about to start on my w201.

My sill jacking points (the areas being repaired in the article) are pretty solid, but the underside, with the rubber lifting pads, is not! When I was ordering parts from M-B I saw these repair plates listed, and the parts guy and I decided they go underneath, to give a solid place to replace the rubber bungs. I bought two, and just yesterday was trying to see how they fit.... well, they don't fit underneath, obviously, they go on the sides.

I don't need these repair plates, are they any use to you? Pretty sure they are the same part as they are also a 201 part no. in the article. Surprisingly heavy duty plates compared to the outer sill panel I also bought - that looks like its made of tinfoil next to the these M-B jacking plates
Let me know if you can use these parts
