Door Panel Screw
« on: February 01, 2012, 16:01:24 »
I am missing the chrome/ss screw and raised washer that go under the arm rest for securing the door panel to the door.  I have them for one side but not the other.  They are no longer available from the Classic Center apparently.  The one washer I have is badly pitted so would be interested in two if someone has two in good condition.  Thanks

I got two of each from my MB dealer,the only problem was the screws are black and the washers are slightly different (not as thick with a slightly largder OD).

Thanks Eric.  I was told they are substituting these black ones now for the chrome.  Since I already had one correct I was hopeful someone might have a spare left over from a previous restoration or fix up.  I am looking for both the screw and washer.

Re: Door Panel Screw - which one is correct?

Hi Eric,
is that a regular M5 fine thread screw?  I am also trying to find the correct screw for this location.
According to the parts list it should be a sheet metal screw (DIN 7983; 4.8 x 16 mm). However the hole in the plate of my 230SL has a thread that fits an M5 screw.
The corresponding M5 DIN screw would be a DIN 966.
I am hoping that the owners of 230SL or early 250SL cars could take a look and letting us know please what they have, sheet metal screw or normal thread, and possibly length and thickness.
Thanks!

Alfred, the one I have looks like the one pictured by John (domed head), late model Euro 230SL.  By the way I am still in need of a screw and washer for my drivers side door if anyone has a spare or knows where to get them.

Hello Paul and John,
thanks a million for the photos and the dimensions.
I am pretty sure John's screw corresponds to a DIN 7983 and since your car is pretty much unmolested that settles the question for me.

Jordan, I can buy the screw in chrome and the washer (although it now has 14mm OD/5mm ID) in Germany and let you know once I know a price with shipping.
