And at many traditional vendors, but probably only as a full set.

Thx all for the helpful responses:
(1) found right hand under dash pad on EBay but so far , no left hand under dash pad….hence the post in WTB section.
(2) similarly, can’t find at Authentic, Buds, K&K, Vintage euro parts…….Q? maybe I’m searching the wrong description? "DASH PAD", "UNDER DASH PAD"????  Q? Alternate suppliers that might have?
(3) good tip RE templates available……might be beyond my capabilities as these pads appear to be foam ( easy to cut) but covered with black vinyl or is it MB-TEX? ( not so easy to source)

Link on this website provided by LORSTAR is for templates for "UNDER DASH PANEL SET". I believe these are installed under the dash to cover up the instrumentation etc from below?  Amy car does not have any of the three shown in the template section.
To clarify , I am looking for left side "UNDER DASH PAD".   Schematic from Vintage Euro Parts catalogue attached.

Hello, half the battle is knowing what to search for

Full set available here

https://www.authenticclassics.com/250SL-280SL-113Ch-3pc-Underdash-Panel-Set-p/auth-002804-0002.htm

I would think most of the usual vendors sell them, just need to be creative when you search!

Apologies, posted this exactly the same time as you posted the clarification, wrong panels completely

I believe you are asking for something different than what other members are referring to.  If I’m understanding you correctly, you’re looking for the molded/padded piece of dash covering that fits to the left of where the steering wheel column fits into the dash NOT the cardboard panel that fits under that? 

If my assumption is correct, you’re looking for something more difficult to source.  The actual part is NLA. That being the case, you’ll need to look at the secondary market.  Although eBay has had them, have you asked Nelson at Vintage Euro?  He carries some used dash pieces or may be able to source it for you. 

It will be covered in the same MBTex or leather that the rest of your dash is covered.  I’d opt to get a pad covered in any color you can find and then recover it in material matching the rest of your dash.  If it’s black, that’s an easy do.  If it’s something more exotic, maybe more searching on your part. 

Please let me know if I’ve understood your request or not.

GENTLEMEN
  Thx for the help.  Supply chain issues solved: sourced a used under dash pad Vintage Euro Parts ($325!) and the chrome trim piece ( that I didn’t know I needed!) on EBAY ($$120 !).  Parts for these beauties certainly are expensive!
