While changing the modulator on my 81 380SEL I broke the thrust pin. It took me 40 minutes to find out the name of the part and none of the online houses that I use even list it. Phil shows nothing but the modulator and cap and in one link a guy said he called Phil and he didn't have the part. I'm getting ready to drill, pin and glue this bad boy if I have to. It supposedly only cost about 3.00 but the guy didn't say from where. Any ideas? The local dealership never has much this old - has anyone bought this part? Thanks, Andy

Thanks Doc - I was giving up on this one. My local MB dealer is never much help with these older parts.
