Mercedes early 230SL restored header manifold set

[Klaus Pieper]

I tend to agree with Achim's statement "there are often "internal" cast or (stamped numbers on the part that do not match the entries in the parts list".

I have a spare front manifold with number 127 142 0505 and a spare rear manifold with number 127 142 0708 (or 06).  The chassis number of the car from which the parts originated is not known as I have an "Austauschmotor".

From chassis number 13865 and forward the later non header style was used according to Laurence Meredith's "Original Mercedes SL" restorer's guide W113.

Yes, part casting numbers most often are not the same as the MB part numbers.

I still have the headers.
