Title: Door Gap
Post by: rutger kohler on November 08, 2017, 19:37:38

Hi, I am getting a bare metal resto on my 1969 280SL.  The gap between the front fender top and the door is too wide and I am getting this fixed, however the repairer has suggested checking to gap all the way around the door.  Does someone has a factory spec for the door gaps pleawse?

Yes, Rutger, certainly. The Mercedes body manual specifies a 4mm gap.
