Title: Where can I source a new Tail Light electrical panel/bulb holder?
Post by: mario on March 26, 2019, 14:17:55

Anyone have a good recommendation as to where to source the tail light electrical panel bulb holder?  The piece in the trunk that is held on by the 2 white knurled nuts.  Having issues with my right brake light.  Late 280SL style.

Thanks.  They appear to be out of them on the website.  I'll give them a call though.

White knurled nuts... funny.. just was questioning around about it and received some indications about black nuts in late 280SL. Seems like no pattern again - they installed what they had at hand.

I do not see it in SLS.

Maybe here, perhaps he has the right hand side:
