After spending 17 years at the body shop, my car is back but in serious trouble at the mechanic. I've seen another 350SL he restored so that's comforting.
I had every original thing for my car, and now scavenging :frown
Oh well. So here's what may be the toughest, and maybe because I don't have the correct name or part number. The chrome receptacles for the hard top/rag top wrenches (also missing, as well as their nice black sleeve) that sit on top of the hard top pins on either side of the car.
I don't know if that's easily understood, so I will try to spell it out. When fastening the hard top, there's the two wrench points on top of the windshield, the pin that goes in to the hole behind the second trunk (where the rag top is stored) and on either side, one above where the defroster plugs in. It's those last two that have a small chrome piece that fits over the nut with a slot in it to accept the wrench to let it release or screw down.
I'd have better luck if any of the manuals had survived, at least the right names, but they're all gone, I even had the radio manual and original case for all. Pics are from 1996 (and I know the exhaust tips are wrong)
Any help appreciated, heres the rest of what I know I need to find:
Chrome hardtop wrench receptacles (the little slots that fit over the nut)
2 Original chrome hardtop wrenches
Case for 2 original hardtop wrenches
Original tool kit (green cloth case)
Second tool kit (brown cloth case)
Original Manual for car, Original Manual for radio and original Case for both (brown plastic, clear plastic)
HVAC direction plastic bit that goes on the louver switch
I forgot to check if the original jack was still in the car.
I think I found these, on order:
1 Glove box light/flashlights, brand new
Glove box light/flashlight receptacle (found pn on this site, thank you!)
