Visual catalog of parts and locations

[blairwag]

Is anyone aware of a web site available that shows diagrams and/or graphics of parts, and their locations, for our cars? One post in this forum mentioned a link to this site: http://sls.sparebase.de/start/index.phtml?lan=2
Now, that's a great site, excellent diagrams, but their catalog is limited.
Does anyone know of other sites that I can use. I'm having trouble putting my car back together because I need to replace parts with different parts, and I don't even know what the parts are or where they go (sounds crazy, I know).

William,
At http://www.niemoeller.de you may order a catalog (sorry - no web)with large pictures of the complete 230-280sl's part by part.

Select "Products" and "Other Cat's".
I don't remember the price, but I got it after a week.

I like sl classics, sl tech, millers and k&k

http://www.slclassics.com/
http://www.sltechw113.com/
http://www.millermbz.com/
http://www.kkmfg.com/

the goods and bads....slclassics does not have pricing online, sltech has parts that might be hard to find, but not a complete online catalog, millers is pretty thorough, but a little overcomplicated, and k&k is migrating from an older format to a newer format, and some stuff isn't converted yet.

all have provided excellent service when I've needed stuff.

Great help!
I went to the http://www.niemoeller.de web site and ordered all the free-bee brochures, along with the 656 page 108-113 catalog. However, the site didn't ask for any payment information. Will they call me, or email me? Will this ship to the US?

These sites:
http://www.slclassics.com/ - limited diagrams
http://www.sltechw113.com/ - no catalog nor diagrams
http://www.millermbz.com/ - no catalog nor diagrams
http://www.kkmfg.com/ - limitied catalog/diagrams

...are also still very helpful. I've visted SL Tech. Gernold has helped me with advisem and sold me hard to find parts. A great resource, for sure!

...but I'm still looking for something a little more comprehensive. I need to contact the US Classic Center and find out what the CD is like. Anyone know if it's worth the $$$'s?

William,

Millers has a great catalogue with diagrams so take another look at their website.

Cheers,

Andrew,
Where is Miller's catalog? Are you talking about the PDF files that can be downloaded?

William,

Niemoeller will e-mail you.

The first time I bought the cataloge they had me fax the credit card information.

I love the 230-280sl cataloge. Large and very detailed pictures. And I find it a lot easier to bring along under the car than my computor.

The big 108-113 book is OK, but a little harder to navigate inside - and it's in German.

William,

That's right; the PDF download. Although not as good as the stuff Per is showing. I, too, have now look at buying this enormous book and have asked them for postage costs to London.

There are, from time to time, some good parts guides for sale on eBay as well. Many are in German which makes it difficult.

Cheers
Andrew

I've ordered the Niemoeller freebee brochures, and the big 650+ page 113 catalog.  The folks at Niemoeller don't know what the $USD amount will be, but were very helpful and responsive. Unfortunately, the whole thing is written strictly in German. So, either the pictures will tell me a thousand words, or I'll be picking up a German - English translation guide ;-)

Hi William - I bought the same catalogs from Niemoller and they are pretty self-explanatory even though in German. Last January I bought a new european 280 SL camshaft from them (around $500) and when it came in, it had a small spot of surface rust on one lobe. They exchanged it no questions asked. Particularly in the large catalog you can find most anything you need.
