Anyone know a part number or availability for these little plugs?

BobH plugs do look more like the originals once he did the modifications. I am sure that there will be members in USA that would want more of the original look. However if you vs are comfortable with the ACE, yes they are in the bulk parts Ben’s. Bob

Vintage Euro Parts is a company that likes to find vendors that will make parts if there is a market for them. Based on all the people on this post, I would think there is the need. I would contact them and see if they can make the parts.

hi BobH
if you send a batch to the states I'd be interested in a set.

thank you

I have a batch to send to mtoomey (Mark), but i can't get an address for him

If i send them to either Merrill or Benz280, will you forward some onto Mark when we get an address for him?

Thanks

I found one original plug on the passenger side. Those found by BobH are a very good match, you just need to gently cut off the "collar" and, if you see fit, shorten them a bot form the collar side with a knife. Then they look like original in my opinion.

Side question: I wonder if those plugs were installed on the outside of the chairs or also on the inside? I would not be surprised if it was only outside - you basically do not see the inner side of the chairs in that place. Always a saving to leave them unplugged...

Anybody found them on the inside of the chairs (in original chairs)?

Pawel, I found one chair that had both - The passenger seat with the kinder seat behind it. Whereas the drivers seat had neither. Impossible to tell but my thought was that maybe they got knocked off on that side as it is the only one that gets tilted forward frequently to put things back there. The kinder seat is so pressed against the back of the passenger side that it is rarely moved and so the plugs were 'un-interrupted'

Of course anyone could have moved them at any point too!

I don't personally think Mercedes would have only put the plug on the outer side - taking the seat apart, everything is so carefully repeated on the recliner mechanism with more springs than are needed to be functional - they could have saved more money there than on a plastic plug
