Stick,
back to the part and a question for you.
The EPC shows that RHD 230SL need 2 of the clamps (LHD only 1) and I was wondering whether you know where they go?
Also W111 RHD coupes and cabrios need 1, but not LHD - go figure.

To be frank I've never seen that clip before (in metal at least). I've had a look at several cars and none of them have it. I shall endeavour to find out though!

Stick: Two Terry's (made in UK) 14mm tool clips riveted together do the trick.  About $2. give or take.
