Early 230SL Spare Tire Well

[gtait]

I own a early 1964 230SL that I am currently restoring and would like to correct a change made during a restoration done in the late 1970's.
During that earlier restoration the vertical spare tire well was replaced by a sheet metal panel for a later model meant for cars with the  horizontal  mount.

I would like change it back to the original type but can't seem to find one  through the suppliers listed in the vendor section.  Does anyone know where I can acquire one of the old style well?

I purchased my car out of storage where it was for 28 years. I am currently in the middle of restoring my car and am finding this forum extremely helpful.  Thank you to all who contribute.

Look in the section "Body frame and panelling"


SLS in Germany have them, 481 Euros. Mercedes may have them also, check because sometimes MB are actually cheaper than SLS.
