				Need small gas spring for 95 E320 arm rest
			 
			
			I need to replace the gas spring in my arm rest.  A search on the internet shows that this gas spring is an odd size (too small), and no one seems to  stock it.  The original spring was supplied by Lift-O-Mat.  Here are the specs: Extended: 11.0 cm (4-1/4") between hole centers Retracted: 8.1 cm (3-1/8") between hole centers Cylinder diameter: 12 mm (1/2") Does anyone have a good source for this odd (small) sized spring?

			the parts guide didn't show one for that model, looks like it is part of complete arm rest, but after a little research i foung one from a 129 SL, i cannot say if it is correct for the 124, but here is the number 000-980-75-64 retails for about $47.00 and is special order

			Carson, I appreciate you digging up this info (including the number), but for $47 this non-critical part isn't worth replacing.

			Unfortunately, they don't retail their parts. I even have a friend high up in the automotive interior business, and his catalogs - including Stabilus - don't cover this application.

			I have e-mailed the Stabilus Ingenieure "auf deutsch" and asked for the correct number.  If they give it to me, you should be able to order it from here: Nord Amerika / North America USA / South Carolina Fahrzeugkomponenten - Ersatzteilhandel / vehicle components - spare parts trade Sachs North America, Inc. 909 Crocker Road 44145-1095 Westlake, OH Tel.: (440) 871-4890 Fax: (440) 871-6904
