I've just purchased (or am in the process of purchasing) a 1973 450SL. During my test drive and inspection I noted a few issues that I need to address immediately, including at least one missing bushing/roller in the throttle linkage. I'm familiar with the service manuals on tonk.ca, but I haven't found a source for illustrated parts diagrams. Would someone please point me in the right direction?

Using the search function I found a link to this parts catalog: https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/epc/mercedes/
Is this the parts catalog preferred by forum users? Any others I should check out?

Welcome, and congratulations!
107Merc just posted a link to the same EPC that I like to use yesterday: https://www.benzworld.org/threads/realoem.3144658/?post_id=18788756#post-18788756
Put in your VIN and save it to your favorites, it'll come up with the fisches for your car every time afterwards.

Thanks @Shepherdcl
I don't have the vin handy, I'll have to get it from the seller.
I don't see the throttle linkage bellcrank parts I saw on this SL in the diagram you posted. The most urgently needed part is a bushing or roller that rides in varying radius track on a bellcrank mounted to the intake manifold. Please see the item circled in the image I've attached. Image isn't my car, just the best I could find in a 1 minute Google image search.

How To Identify & Source Parts
This is another potential sticky if the mods deem it so. I'm outlining how to find and identify parts primarily, especially for parts that are not general commodities and would typically be dealer only or reproduction parts, not parts you could find from "regular" vendors: OE parts...
