I need the rear exhaust manifold part no. 1291420002 and down pipe for a ' 69 ' 280  LHD if anybody can help.

Will pay for shipping from anywhere.

Thanks

Ray,
I have p/n 1291420002, but that is the front (cylinders 1-3) part!
What do you need?

Hi,
there are a lot of front manifolds (1291420002) on ebay (https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=1291420002&_sacat=0) or here http://mercedes-lager-teileliste.de/liste.php?baumusternr=54&gruppe=Saugrohr%2FAuspuffkr%FCmmer&Gruppenauswahl=Los%21.
The rear one (129420202) is rare and more expensive.

Hey Guy's
Thanks for the quick replies, I need to check with Stick which one he has as their seems to be some confusion with part no.s.
I,l get back to you.
In the mean time Alfred, do you also have a down pipe kicking around ?

Hello Marilyn,
I have both parts available 129 142 02 02 and 129 142 00 02, both have been sand blasted and high temp: painted.

Just curious: What color did you paint the manifolds. I have to paint mine and have not decided yet...

[tel76]

I had the work carried out at a company that has a powder coating arm and they did them in silver.
PM me a email address and I will send you a picture.

I don't believe powder coating will withstand the high temperatures of an exhaust manifold.

[MikeSimon]

That's my concern. I have access to various finishing processes, powder coating, painting, blasting incl vapor blasting.
Powder coating usually has a max of 1200°. Very borderline for exhaust manifolds.
I plan to paint mine with a high temp paint. Just not sure if I want to use black or a manifold gray.

Looking back at old threads i found that when they left the factory they were white, their was even some photo's.

I,m having them ceramic coated and the downpipe in either white or silver, havn't decided yet.

.../...i found that when they left the factory they were white.../...

This was definitely so, correct.
However, not a very durable finish so after the car the had been running for a period, the exhaust manifolds showed some corrosion

[MikeSimon]

I read all the discussions about the white manifolds and I thought it was quite inconclusive. It seemed some of the contemporary pictures showed a whitish hue that was caused by some color fading in the light when the photos were taken.
I dare to say the manifolds were not finished by the factory in any color, but the new, raw castings seemed to shine like white when photographed.

I have jet coated headers and that has lasted 5+ years

Yes naj, that was my intention, in silver now i think got some different colour samples, but getting the manifolds gas flowed and ported first then Colin is going to weld the joints up.
Hope you are keeping well
