The other side has the same marking. I could not find the production number. I’ve never had the original door panels off to check there. This is a very original 230SL, with regards to all body panels, lights, glass and chrome.

Understand that the number of possible combinations of colors, parts, options, etc. on the F150 means there are hardly two exactly alike. There are thousands of combinations and differences. Yet, on the assembly line all the correct parts and colors are there at the right time in the right place. It’s an amazing experience of a real factory in operation assembling the highest volume vehicle made.
Interesting to compare to numbers written in crayon on the back of a part!

Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Re: Reaffixing steering wheel:horn issues
« Last post by Peter Horsman on November 30, 2024, 12:08:42 »Thank you all. I will revisit the problem when I have a few moments. At the moment, I simply took off the wheel (and therefore the chrome horn bar and backing 'plate') and did not touch the horn ring on the column which appears to be working OK: I can push it and the horn will activate. It seems that the backing 'plate' which secures the chrome horn bar to the wheel touches the horn ring as I tighten up the steering wheel nut. I'll certainly check the rubber 'bumpers': I don't recall seeing those at all!
Yes, the refurb seems to be really good (bar this problem which is probably nothing to do with it). Steering Wheel restorations in Ramsgate (Paul) who did it has two moulds, one for early wheels and a grooved one for later ones. Cost was c£300. Tel 01843 844962.
