I need a set of switchplates and knobs for both climate control(heat and vents) and the AC control and antenna switch,etc for my 1978 240D. I also need the crazy vacuum motor that operates the vent flap. The one that has a diaphragm on both sides.

I'm rebuilding the climate control box and will need these pieces. I have the old faceplates but they are in really bad shape and missing all the knobs.

Shoot me a price! Thanks!

Also need some blue front seats. preferably with the 77/78 style headrests with the pointy corners. And a blue dashboard. For the seats and dashboard would prefer somewhat close to NC. Thanks!

Vacuum valve looks like this and controls the cabin air flap...it's under the dashboard on the passenger side.. The one in my 78 the rubber has totally disintegrated.

Correct. I left a nice 1979 SD there and a completely stripped rust-free 1984 300D frame
He had a bunch and decent prices

I may go look and give him another try. I stopped by once looking for a turn signal, but he would only sell me the entire steering column for $150. Which I thought was kind of a rip. So I never went back. Course the guy I talked to on the phone was different than the guy who was there when i got there. After the steering column thing I kind of figured he was a bit sketchy or overpriced but maybe I just hit him on a bad day.

I have every switch and switch plate you could ever ask for. I have 11 boxes that has been adding up for years. 7 boxes of switches and 4 boxes of plates all vintage classics. In interested send me your best offer. They are in excellent condition!

Yeah let me know! I have a 81 240D near complete sitting in my yard. According to Hollander interchange these parts should work for your 77/78.

Have you got zebrano trim for manual climate control in good shape? My 200D has been converted to zebrano except for this piece.

I will check tomorrow and get back to you.
