Copper/brass parts near the bonnet catch needed.
« on: April 23, 2023, 08:39:30 »
On my 66 230 it should have a couple of brass/copper strips near the bonnet / hood catch which I think were to help with the radio noise suppression.  Not sure how to describe them.  Anyone know the part numbers please?

Authentic Classics have them for US$28.50

   Copper Ground Spring for Front Hood Latch - fits Mercedes 230SL 250SL 280SL & others

I just bought and installed one. Fast service, quick shipping, excellent quality. I have no conflicts of interest or commercial relationship with Authentic Classics.

If I am not mistaken, we have generally called this the BST, or brass springy thing. 😉
