Hard top pins 230 SL 1965
« on: December 23, 2013, 10:49:24 »
Hi all,
Merry Christmas.
Does any one know where to get the small pins which attach the rear of the hard top catch to the body work.
I broke one and now the hard top is only connected at 3 places...two at the front catches and only one at the rear.
The catch is OK but the small horizontal pin is needed.
Thanks
James

If it is only the pin and not the casing that is broken, you could have a new machined pin inserted to replace old.

Hi Stan,
I think that will be perfect.
I'll get my German speaking daughter in law to purchase them for me.
Sincere thanks
