Hi folks,
would that steering wheel work for my 92 500 SL?
Pre Order for Mercedes R129 SL Steering Wheel Walnut Wleather Normal Interior | eBay

The site says compatible with R129 SL-class 1992-1995 but I though 1992 and 1995 R129 steering wheels were different so I am confused

The steering wheel itself will fit.

You will likely have to migrate the hardware from your existing wheel. Also, it doesn't look that airbag is from a '92 so you will probably have to locate one that matches the wheel.

For sure the 92/93 do not have a normal clock-spring, but have these copper/brass studs coming out of the column, and they rub on the steering wheel base which has the circular contacts.

The 94's not sure what they have

The 95's have the opening for the connector to the clock-spring

I will have to take a picture of the bottoms, so you see it.

Here are some pictures. The one on the left is a 93 and the one on the right is a 95.

Hope it clears it up for you.

It will fit but I found it easier just to unscrew the innards and swap them over instead of moving wire connectors around. 95 wheel on my 92

Nice, I also like the wooden back-end of the gauges dash. Where did you get that from?

Also I noticed you have the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car

Ahhh! I knew there was another mod I had to do to make it fit. :eek

The gauge polished alloy rings & wood effect were off ebay
