That's what I remember. If it's a 3 speed, first is toward you and down. Then follow above in order.

Either way, R requires you to pull against spring resistance. This is to avoid an accidental shift to R while moving forward and shifting up or down.

Try Hemmigs classic car magazine, search online, or possibly check your local brake shops for someone to reline those shoes. Unless you want to change out the whole rear axle unit for one from a W108, I don't know how else you can convert the rear brakes to discs. Should be able to get the whole set of shoes relined for less than $170. In my area, White Post Restorations does this, though I haven't used them.
Several years ago, I had a set of shoes for my '57 DKW (very similar to the Mercedes shoes) relined by a shop I found online in Dayton Ohio, for under $40 plus shipping.

Happy Motoring, Mark

(Compared to changing the rear axle, I'd pay the $170!)

Reread your post and edited mine. There are other options. Those Mercedes prices are geared towards people restoring trailer-queens and show-cars!

I E-mailed the guy who did my DKW shoes, but it's been 8 years and I don't know if he's around anymore.
I'm pretty sure White Post could do the whole set for under $170. If your worried about possibly losing your original shoes in the mail, maybe you could take some time to search for an extra set of used shoes.
You never want to be in a hurry with fixing these old cars!

Happy Motoring, Mark

I heard back from the guy that did my DKW shoes.
He asked if those were steel or alloy. His price for relining -

Steel shoes $55 set, alloy shoes $75 set, + shipping.
His E-mail - PStaneart@aol.com

Happy Motoring, Mark
