Frigiking AC Vent
« on: February 17, 2021, 07:19:24 »
One of the three rectangular vents is missing on the Frigiking AC system. 

I’ve looked on many 280SL parts websites but to no avail. 

Would greatly appreciate any help on where to pick one up. 

Thank you.

Have you called Bud's Benz in GA? An individual vent is not shown on their website but they've got quite an assortment of AC parts and may have one.

Thanks Charles.

I am just learning of different parts suppliers and have not had them on my radar yet.  Will give them a call.

Frigiking made automotive AC systems for many different applications. The vent was common to several systems so you dont necessarily need to search for a W113 specifically. Do an ebay search and save it for automatic updates.

If you run out of options PM AlexD. He had a contact in Europe that was selling entire units fairly cheap. I passed on one below $500 because the plastic cover was very warped. You could always turn around and sell the other two vents and other parts.
