Title: 1965 230SL brake dust covers
Post by: mcpheatauto on October 06, 2020, 17:28:10

I wonder if anyone on here can help me with a problem I am having sourcing parts for a 230SL I have in my workshop? I am trying to find a pair of front disc brake dust covers for a car with Girling 3-pot calipers. From what I understand these are no longer available new so I am hoping to find some used parts. The ones on the car I am working on have rusted away and I am not keen on putting it back together without these parts. Thanks, in advance, for your kind attention.

Have you tried SLS?
They show limited stock.

Thanks for the reply. I tried emailing these guys at the end of last week but have had no response as yet.

I have a set on a 230SL parts car. Just a matter of removing them.

Thanks, tried Niemoeller last Friday, no luck from them. Also called MB Classics in California today, told they were no longer available.

Thanks Benz Dr., if no others turn up in the next few days could I persuade you to sell your spares? Happy to pay for your time to take them off the car.

Sure. That's what parts cars are for.

I just want to say thanks for the help I've received through this forum. Thanks to the responses to my request I did find 2 suppliers in Germany who were able to offer replacement parts but ended up sourcing good used parts from MBZParts in Oregon for half the price (the guys there were very helpful).
