Body, interior, paint, chrome, and cosmetic items / Re: Looking for MB tex (red?) for a W113 of 1964 + sunvisors (ivory?) OEM quality
« Last post by Pawel66 on June 28, 2025, 19:05:28 »Again I say go to MB Classic Center, Longbeach California. These will be the original reproduced product by Mercedes Benz. But if too pricey then go with a heat seal visor. Great looking sunvisors make you car pop.
Do they have them available? I see nothing there for for any W113...

Electrical and Instruments / Re: 123 Ignition - Tune+
« Last post by Pawel66 on June 28, 2025, 18:54:46 »I think quite a lot has been said about this ignition system (I have one as well) and it is positive.
You may want to search for "123 curve" for bluetooth programming. e.g.:

https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=34915.msg255535#msg255535
Corresponding topics: ballast resistor (usually not used), regular coil or 123 coils both work.
Installation also well described in many threads.
I am not from the US, but US Members buy at 123ignition USA, where you can also get a lot of support.

General Discussion / Re: Naj wife Meena
« Last post by kampala on June 28, 2025, 16:54:33 »Dene,
Very sad, I spent time with her and Naj on several occasions enjoying her wonderful cooking. They lived only a 20 minutes drive from my sister. It was on one of those occasions that Naj and I visited you and your Pagoda.
Meena was such a good hearted person and always supported Naj’s Pagoda Passion.
Thanks for letting us know.

Body, interior, paint, chrome, and cosmetic items / Re: Cut outs for Small Rubber trunk mat
« Last post by lreppond on June 28, 2025, 16:42:18 »Thanks John. This is exactly what I was looking for! So far I’ve made a paper template, reinforced the edges and cut out areas with three layers of painters tape for added rigidity. I’ll fit the template first, transfer the final cutouts to the mat and then cut. I plan on using a scalpel and metal straight edge. I’ll have to cut the circle free hand unless I can find a lid or round object that's the correct diameter.

General Discussion / Re: locked up motor 230sl
« Last post by Cees Klumper on June 28, 2025, 12:15:15 »I too can't imagine the engine seizing up from one cold winter. During COVID, my 280 SL sat in an unheated barn in northern France where it freezes in winter for 2 years and it started right up afterwards. Must be something else.
