[mike690003]

Hello Board,

I am lookong for a few 280sl parts. I have their part numbers:

Scoop
107.042
MB Part number
000 094 3011
for 107 280SL

Bellow
MB part number
110 094 07 91
Mann 39 000 40 988


Does anyone have access to these parts??

The dealer is trying to hit me with $300 for the parts. I would rather buy it used for a WHOLE lot cheaper than $300.

I have 2 107 slc parts cars that might have these parts on them. Give me a discription and I will check in the next week or so.

Kip, I need Navy blue sunvisors with hardware, and a zebrano shifter cover, no power windows.

Thanks

The sun visors are the first thing either to be sold off or to completely rot. The last 2 I took off the 280slc and they were rotted inside. Yoiu can get them from Preformance Products or Adsitco but they run about $225 each. If you find some that aren't blue the is some very good spray paint at the automotive paint stores that will interior color. It is about $9 a can.

My 2 cars are very much parts cars and neither had the zebrano shifter cover.

Sorry. Kip

I never really expect to find them, but I always ask. At the price Performance wants for the visor it seems I could probably have mine redone somewhere, but the hardware is also worn out and probably cannot be fixed, and I imagine that is the reason they can rape you. Ditto on the shifter cover. Performance won't just sell you one piece, you have to buy the whole interior set. I think I would go with a black plastic cover if I could find one. Mine is about to peel completely.

I also need door molding and the rear rubber bumper guard for a Euro style rear bumper. Mine aren't real bad but I'd replace them if I could find something near perfect.

Does your 280slc have a four speed auto tranny in it? Those are getting rare, I might be interested in one of those to rebuild as a spare.

Sun Visors can be rebuilt reasonably by http://www.jjproducts.net/Mercedes/index.html.

If you call ask for Jim Bochinni. Not sure of the hardware.

Kirk,

My '72 350slc Euro has a 4 spd. manual trans. and a 225 hp Euro engine. Interested? I live in Corpus if you are.

Are you trying to sell the whole car? I am really just looking for a correct automatic tranny for the 83 280sl.

Rick, thanks for the tip. jjproducts says they can refurb mine to like new for $179. Thats the deal I've been looking for.
