I am down to only a few things that I need for the 1990 240 DL sedan that I just acquired:

Accessory bushings for the power steering pump and alternator (since I have to remove one and the others are shot).

Left taillight (broken lenses).

FCP Groton carries both urethane and OE style bushings. Keeping in mind that I will be doing this outside in the cold, are the urethane bushings worth the trouble and expense?

Since I have yet to find an OE taillight on this site, Ebay or any of the standard vendors that is reasonably priced, is there anything I need to look out for? FCP Groton has an assembly for $88 but I have been reading the horror stories about after market units and wanted your opinion.

My local pick and pull had the outside manual mirror, inside mirror, and alternator adjuster I needed. Oddly, I thought I pulled a muscle removing it...sadly it ended up my first kidney stone which I am currently laid up with. All I have been able to accomplish today is to make power bleeder from a spare cap, garden sprayer and a barb-to-1/4" IP plastic fitting.

Thanks,

Mike
