I am in need of two W116 interior door handle surrounds (black, Plastic) and two W116 clip-type speed nuts that attach the front of the driver's seat to the floor. Have found super glue to be a sorry fix for the door handle parts, and cannot match the speed nuts anywhere. Pictures attached:











I need two each of these parts. Will pay any reasonable price for these parts; I need this vehicle back together and I am THIS close. Thanks for any help.

These are available from the dealer; just got some from the Memphis dealer for some w123 skid pans --- granted; they did have to come all the way from Germany. I don't remember what size the ones I bought were.

I've still got my eye open for a driver's door card for your w116.

Thanks, David, I plan on hitting a pick-n-pull in Little Rock this Friday. If that fails, I will make a trip to Memphrica early next week.

I have all this available plus loads more on a parts car if you still need anything.

Great! Shoot me a price on two of the speed nuts for the seat, the right and left door handle surrounds, and i could use the two plastic trim pieces on each side of the driver's seat ( they are the side pieces that screw on ). Calculate shipping to 72401, and thanks for your help.

Let me make sure the speed nuts aren't rusty when I get back home in a couple days. I definitely have good door handle surrounds in cracked door panels. Which plastic trims - the adjustment knobs (early or late, I have both) or the corner trims (knobs go through two of them, other two are flat, they SNAP in (what color?), or the long pieces along the seat bottom nexe to the door sill? for the seatback corner pieces, what color & material (mb-tex or leather?).

color does not matter on the seat back trim / i need the black plastic that surounds the inside door handles as in the picture / unless the speed nuts for the front seat are stripped out or totally gone, i can probably get by with them; they just need to be able to keep the seat in place, they are not an appearance issue / let me know

Raptelan,

I was able to find the seat trim pieces at a local salvage yard this morning. That leaves me needing the speed nuts and the plastic pieces that fit behind the door handles. If your speed nuts aren't in too bad shape, I can most likely make them work.

I am sure that I can find good ones for you - even in my rusty parts car I had no problem removing the seats. Will PM you once I get home. I know I have perfect door handle surrounds. Anything else? I've got a blue interior sans seats in my parts car, though a fair number of the panels are cracked.

PM sent.
