Thank you for the diagram.
And, while I'm a British car guy through and through (Jaguar, Lotus, Triumph, MG, Austin Healey, etc.), i must point out that there's a good joke opportunity in there somewhere about the Jaguar forum people trying to help the Mercedes Benz forum people...

Jag owner to MB owner: MB horn not working? Hmmm. 'Ave you rebuilt the carburretors yet? That's where I usually start.
MB owner to Jag owner: Thrust bearing wesr and rope seal failure? I am not aware of zese zings, but have you tried a little cutting polish and carnuba wax? Zis is vere I usually start...
Not that I would perpetuate silly stereotypes for the sake of a few chuckles but... oh, wait, yes I would.

Having owned a Mercedes 250S (W108) a 250/8 and 250C (W114) the "carburetor joke" hits a little close to home. Interesting that one finds Mercedes (and would be) owners here on the Jaguar forum.
My "other" car is an E500 (W211) and one of my largest regrets is that I owned and later sold a 300SEL 6.3...
Good clean, early R107s are getting hard to find here in the San Francisco bay area; the huge bumpers on the later cars ruined the looks, IMHO.
