71 MB 280SL Engine Decal Location

Does anyone have a diagram of the engine to show where all of the decals on the engine goes? Presently Have decals but don't have any idea where they go.

This would be a good topic for the Wiki. Has someone done that already?

Check with Will Samples, he sells decals and gives you a location chart with them.

I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel on my restoration.  The engine compartment is completely detailed, powder coating, cad plating, etc.  I'm debating whether or not to add the engine decals.  How well do they hold up in the hot engine compartment?  I have never seen any decals or remnants of them on an unrestored engine compartment, so I'm guessing that they probably desintigrate in short order.
