Carbon contact brushes for horn w124
 

anyone have one or two they don't need? (1987 300D). For a pic see post #27 in this thread: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/mercedes-used-parts-sale-wanted/389372-parting-out-w115s-w123s-w124-2.html

Called the dealer today on a long shot and was shocked, they actually have them and they are $14.
I also told the guy to throw in a wiper blade to my order, he called back a few minutes later after looking up the wiper blade by VIN and said, in a skeptical tone, "So your car only has one wiper??" The car was probably built before he was born.

Surely he's seen a W124?! Not to mention the 201 and 210. Between those 3 chassis, they're like cockroaches - literally everywhere!

Maybe he was new....or new to Mercedes. Anyway he was very helpful and obviously good at parts lookup.....and he called me "bro"

Here are some interesting production numbers on the 124s although it doesn't separate them by country.
