Looking to replace the silver metal parts behind the HVAC levers in a RHD Pagoda. I believe they are called "escutcheon" in the MB parts list.
It is composed of three metal pieces, center being just the tiny square piece. I really only need both end pieces and not the centre piece although happy to take whatever you may have.
Thank you.

Hello Dave, these parts for RHD cars seem to be in short supply, i've seen some new and used for LHD cars for sale

There is a seller on Ebay in the UK that says he has RHD parts, but his pictures only show 2 x LHD strips and 1 x RHD strip, and no small centre strip.  I questioned him and he says he has sets for both cars, but mixed them up on the listing, he does have the other RHD part, but hasn't uploaded a picture yet.  if you have no luck from any members on here, i can provide the link to his Ebay listing for you

I see Niemoeller also have one RHD part and the small centre part, at a huge cost!, but not the other

Out of interest the picture you've uploaded seems to be a mirror image of a LHD dash set, it's not a RHD set?

BobH, thank you for doing the ground work on these extremely hard to find items. If you can email me the link I would be most appreciative and you are right some sites are charging a small fortune, I suspect given their rarity.

Yes, it is a mirror image, very well spotted. I did this as I could not find a RHD set on google images.

Thanks, happy to take them in any condition if someone has them sitting in the shed, or knows of someone who may have them.
