nylon bushing at door retainer
« on: October 15, 2025, 16:43:23 »
Hello, My car is a 1969 280SL, I have noticed my driver door has a nylon bushing that is crumbling apart. it fits on the cast aluminum door open retainer near the hinges. Does anyone know where i might purchase one of these?

If you’re referring to the door check roller, they are available from both Authentic classics and Vintage Euro Parts.  The classic center and other vendors like Buds may have them as well.  The part is 113 720 0116.

I recently replaced mine with the new type (with threaded axle cap) from Authentic Classics.  Highly recommended.

Hi,
The part number provided is for the entire door holder/check. However, you only need the nylon roller.
See https://www.authenticclassics.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=a1137200116 .
Alternatively: https://pagode-markt.de/nachfertigungen/tuerrollen.html .
