Need a source for '79 280 Sl Seat cloth
 

I recently purchased a '79 280 SL that has the cloth hounds tooth inserts in the seats. This car is probably an European model based on the headlights. Does anyone know a source for this material? As a side question, where's a good place to purchase a manual for this vehicle that describes how(pictures too) to disassemble and replace different components?
Thanks in advance.

Not probably...
 

...it IS a euro. You have the M110 6 cylinder - a real workhorse MB used extensively. You'll want to find a manual for that engine and another manual for the 107 chassis.

Post in the SL forum or ask over at sl107.com - I can't remember offhand where to source them other than MBUSA.

Of course, these forums here will help immensely. You'll find lots of info in the Vintage forum where we have a lot of 280/M110 people.

Welcom to the forum!
