Its a shame you have to do this but now at least you know it will be done right. be sure to document as much as you can. it will help in the future for proof of work done via pictures / receipts etc.

Yeah  that's true , after we got over the shock now we look at it as an investment and it should just be perfect and we can enjoy it in that restored state.

Thanks for the support

Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Re: 230 with a short fuel pump - protector modifications

Alex, I installed a short fuel pump on my early 230sl and I bought a grommet to cover up the unused hole: https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=20760.msg147393#msg147393. hope this helps, Charles

Many years ago, My Sadie was used for a Casio Camera commercial.  It was a hoot to do. 

Why did they want my car?  It's color which matched the new camera color.

 It took a whole day to film the video but was fun to watch and also to enjoy the "craft table"  At least I can say my car is a celebrity and  has been in "pictures" which is something I would never be able to say for myself

And whether they appreciated our Pagodas or something else, any time they came close or touched the car, they wore white gloves.  As I said, it was a hoot

SUCCESS!  Flipped that wire and tested.  Got the Reserve Fuel light on for the first time in a long while and when I jump plug the Fuel gage went to full.  When I plugged into the sender it move up but below the bottom tick.  Could just be that I am super low on gas.  Would not be a shock if that was the case.  I think have about 150 miles on the tank and I am not sure how full it was...  So hopefully solved all the problems.  Still just need to pull the instruments again so that I can tighten in the Speedo Cable.  So off to get some gas!

Thank you for the response.
We have a late (1967) 230SL.
So… The two pieces of chrome molding just butt together in the middle at the base of the upholstered horseshoe?
I thought I had lost the little chrome clip.
