I bought my rocker end caps and the jack point hole from the Mercedes classic center and found them to be competitive in price to Miller Benz and cheaper than K&K. If you are a member of MBCA they give you a discount of 10 or 15% I believe the end cap was around $35.00

Note: Be sure to clean up the COSMOLINE (thick yellow coating) in the area you are welding. It is flammable.

Hello Abe. The person I deal with at the classic center is:
Thomas Hanson Supervisor, Parts Operations MBUSA, LLC 9 Whatney Irvine, CA 92618-2808 Desk: 949-598-4842 Mobile: 949-910-3829 Fax: 949-598-4870 Email: thomas.hanson@mbusa.com As for the welding, I bought a welder and taught myself to use it. I do know of a 107SL owner who owns an auto body shop in Long Island, perhaps he can help you or recommend a good welder. He does have an account here under the user name Jjchones. Try PMing him and see if you get an answer. I don't know how active he is here, however I do know he is very active on the Benzworld forum under the same name. If you have an account with Benzworld, you can PM him there also. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r-c107-sl-slc-class/1502254-wood-refinish-project.html |

What kind of welding did you use to do that? Is that oxy-acetylene?

I never touched a welder before starting my restoration project. I am using a mig welder with flux core wire. I practiced a little on sheet metal before I got started. I also watched a lot of how to videos on the internet. It's not that hard to do. You just have to be real careful not to burn through the sheet metal.
