Putting together a 1970 280SL that someone else took apart.
He was taking apart a 280SE at the same time.
Here is a photo of 10 parts.
Can someone or all of you be so kind as to tell me where they go.

Number 4 could be the retaining pins for the brake pads (brake caliper)....

The rest looks like shrapnel to me..... Hopefully the experts may have some ideas.

OK, I`ll start with the couple that look familiar:

7 - heater cable from the dash control to the fresh air flap.
8 - heater valve control lever (possibly)
2 - look like brackets to hold the radio in.
3 - could be the regulator off the previous owners b-b-q gas bottle;D

I hope I get at least one correct.

Number 7 is a tube.
Number 3 --I have tow of these I bet they are off welding and cutting torch tanks.
Number 1 (left side is a dashpot damper rather stiff) Do not know where it goes.

I think the smaller pieces are to hard to see.
Let me try a close up

Dear drawho. I merged your two posts, and deleted the duplicate. Posting the same message in two different sections is called "cross-posting". That's a no-no in forum land.

Hi,

1 is an engine damper found on some w108/w111/"w112 cars, not for your pagoda
7 could be early style oil pressure line?
6 upper brackets for headlight chrome trim on w108/w111/w112 thus not for a pagoda
I believe 2 and 4 have been correctly identified
