How hard are they to come by new or used? Same as the 3-5 cams or not? Dont think these are good for anything any more or am i wrong? - that would be nice

Left one is still available new for ~480EUR. Right is NLA according to my source.

Left: A1000500201
Right: A1000500301

Other than buying used ones, your option would be to have them custom ground from scratch, or the old ones re-ground if there's enough material.

1988 "Arctic White" W124 200T
1979 "Icon Gold" W116 450SE

I might have a bead on the RHS cam if you need it. PM me and I can see if the guy still has one for sale.

And here we go with the money ;D

What I'll do to start is take the other cam off and have a shop look at them see if they can do anything with them. Before i go buy new ones

Aim is to get the engine to turn free then I'll move on to its ancillaries injection and what not! Eventually it'll run and i'll get on to that suspension!

Its not going to be a quick resto as I've not got a lot of time for it amongst others!

Yes the 6.9 is a tough mistress to keep...
