230SL Seat Back Release Lever
« on: May 10, 2022, 15:27:51 »
Can anyone suggest where I might find a replacement for the chrome lever that releases the driver’s side seat-back (photo attached)?  Mine broke off just under the plastic handle so it can’t be welded.  The part is not listed on any of the after-market supplies shops I use.  Please reply here or directly to cdiamond@omm.com

Charles, take the seat out and dismantle the assembly.
Take the assembly to a metal smith and ask them to grind down a length of the chrome plated part and rethread the portion to accept the plastic handle.
In other words, bring the threaded portion down the shaft, no one will notice the height difference.
