hi styria ,I do realize that there is that tricky series of pieces behing that blank out plate and I have not had the chance or the courage to take it off yet. However i don't think that mb would be courtious enough to include those piecesso I'm still on the look out for a wrecked 560 or god forbid 6.9. But to address your reference to a 280 you have to remember that us North americans don't have access to any. Us v8 owners have the pump driven off the distributor gear and not the camshaft like the 280s
