Headrest / Seat Belt Holder
« on: January 16, 2011, 01:08:01 »
Can anyone lead me to a source for the black plastic seat belt holders that affix to the 2 chromed seat headrest supports ?

See attached pic.  My car is a '70 280 SL.

Thanks.

I got mine from Gernold when he installed my seat belts which BTW the car in the pic looks like some of his work.  I think they were original to the W107.

I just bought a similar (though not exact) retainer from www.Autonotions.com.  It is advertised for an R107, but when I got it for my wife's 107 I tried it on my 113, and the headrest holes are the same.  $49.99 plus shipping.  This guy is easy to work with.  I was a little too agressive in my initial installation (did not use a lubricant as I should have) and snapped one in two.  He sent a replacement at no charge.

These belt holders have been available in the Beamer world for a long time and at a much lower price:

You can find them sometimes for less than $30.

Correct, the holders are for the W107.  You can still order from MB.  Also you can order from Performance Products 1-800-243-1220. @ $67.99 each. part #91-062.
