Don't be surprised if the WEB sellers don't carry that item. I've checked 4 of them, including the one here(online that is) and none of them have it.
You may have to see your local dealer. Before you do that, call Phil at Fastlane...800 # at this site. He sometimes gets stuff out of a wholesaler in South San Franscisco, Calif.

Thanks people! I know it is hard to find, but if I find a source, I will surely spread the word!

I'm amazed that MB still made them out of steel!
For every car I've had with a steel battery tray, I've had to repair them or at least beef them up so they won't waste away from the battery acid. I have access to a sand blaster. After blasting away the rust, I recoat them first with primer, then either tar or use a dippable rubber coating. Regular paint just doesn't last. Do you have access to a sand blaster at school?

Does anyone know the size of the short threaded metal dowel that the battery holddown plate fits over. This is missing on my car (88 300ce) & I've been unable to find the right size to screw into the vacant hole. The dealer didn't have it as a listed part. Thanks.

Hey everyone,
I wish I had access to a sand blaster! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! I could fix a few things around the home. I would like to just remove, sand, and recoat the pan, but it is original and is 15 years old and brittle around the edges, so I have to get a new one! So far I have not found one online..... the minute I do, you all will know where to get you new battery pans!!!

You might also want to add a "battery mat" > special fiber mat designed to neutralize battery acid .. saves the battery pan > JC Whitney has them
