I had a broken plastic head piece on my MB Main Key, so I made  "how to" video on the Replacement Key Head for the 280SL Main Key - 113 Chassis.
The part was from Authentic Classics the Order Code is AUTH-002849 and the MB Part Number is A 000 766044 06.

Thanks for the fast reply Alfred.
I regret that I forgot to stop the video and take some good close-ups of the key blade.  The pictures above are frame captures from the video.
I never see the actual key blade image posted on the internet.
