W126 window regulator mounting bushings.
Looking for a parts diagram for the W126 (1st gen but I don't think there is a difference) window regulator mounting brackets. NOT the sliding jaws, these are the plastic mountings which hold the regulator through the door sheet metal.
They appear to be a formed plastic bushing with a bolt which fits inside the regulator mounting frame, a formed, fitted "receiver" bushing which fits outside the bracket (between the mount and the door sheet metal) and a metal, threaded retainer which holds the plastic part of the bushing together. The "bolt" extends through the sheet metal of the door and accepts the nut which holds the track to the sheet metal.
Why, you ask? Because while in the process of replacing door panels I found out someone had previously replaced the sliding jaws and in the process managed to jury rig the mounting brackets allowing the window bracket to slip and slide enlarging the mounting holes. Of course I found this AFTER I had replaced the other three panels. Trying to avoid removing the installed panels (yeah, yeah, I'm lazy and not too proud to admit it) just to compare.
They appear to be similar to the ones for the W114 and W123 models. I've got parts from W114/W123's which I can probably adapt but it would be nice to have an idea of the original bits.
