Front bumper mounting rails

[Benz Dr.]

I have a 1971  280 SEL in and the front bumper mounting rails are rusted out. Are these parts, inner and outer, the same as used on a 111 coupe or sedan?

I am afraid not.

I took W108058, which is SEL 3.5L, not sure which one you have...

Left side rails:
Inner A 108 885 03 40
Outer A 108 885 01 40

Right hand side
Inner A 108 885 04 40
Outer A 108 885 01 40

Taking inner left for example - the system says only W108 and W109
Taking the outer left - same, unfortunately.

W111 have their mounting rails with 111 designation, e.g. A 111 885 00 40 inner. Same for left and right.
