w108 parts weird wanted

[vandor]

I post this here because I think a lot of people do not read the Wanted section, plus someone might be able to give me some ideas on where to get these parts. Most are weird :-) All for 1972 280SEL 4.5:

-Shift indicator cable (from shift column to instrument cluster)
-Instrument cluster bulb holder (for high beam, but likely all are the same)
-Glovebox latch, the one on the inside, not the one on the door.
-Fuse cover the for engine compartment 2-fuse holder
-Rear seat cushion black leather, only in VGC. I will likely buy a new one.
-Tow Hitch (long shot, I know, I will likely have to make one)
-Cabin air filter, in cowl (loooooong shot :-)

Thanks,

Csaba

The cabin air filters are available at (or via) your friendly local dealer.

I just stripped out the old filter fabric and trimmed some 3M filter material to fit and glue them to the old filter frames.

The only one from your list I see.

Cabin air filter parts numbers (via 280SE Guy)

1088300118 air (insect) filter right (cabin air grill)

1088300218 air (insect) filter left (cabin air grill)

Shouldn't be more than $40 for both.

A buddy and I may be getting a small pile of oddball NOS parts for w114/115 and w108 chassis as part of a bigger deal for old stock.

Sorry I don't have part numbers yet.
