George, what is this guy doing wrong with your vacuum actuator diaphragms?

He says "NOTE: Of the pods above, only the -02-75 (center vent) can be properly "rebuilt" using the diaphragm kits from Performance Analysis. The dual-chamber pods can only have the 'small lift' portion rebuilt properly. The diaphragm kits for the dual-chamber 'large lift' will restrict movement and should NOT be used... replace the recirc+defrost pods with new pods only!"

I have a '87 300TD. Do you have the diaphragms I need to repair all of my actuators?

Thanks,
Andy.

Only for the round actuators - not the oblong one.

Never had that problem with my parts - installed them in lots of MBs . . .
