Sedan engine & correct engine supports

[ggdtr5]

Hi there I am looking for some advice regarding my 1964 230SL.
I have recently got the car so I am still discovering things about it.
My car has a 127 sedan engine fitted , however I suspect that the engine supports have not been changed from the original SL engine,  there is a small dent on the inside of the bonnet where It looks like the engine rocker cover has been hitting.

My question is  how can I check if I have the correct supports and if they are incorrect where can I get some proper ones

Graham,
the correct ones for a W113 engine should be stamped "127SL"; see photos and read discussion here: http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=11554.0
Don't know what markings are on the supports for the sedan engine.

And here in the Technical Manual: https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Engine/EngineSupportArms

Also check your subframe mounts, which can collapse. (center of the subframe on top). also Check to be sure the motor mounts have stop plates and rubber stops under them. These screw into the motor mounts from underneath and prevent the engine from bouncing up too far.

... and check the rear motor mount - the one behind the gear box. Very important too !

If you look at the subframe mounts from the engine compartment on the top of the frame rails you shouldn't see the big bolt in the middle of the hole only the 4 small(13mm head) bolt that attach the mount to the chassis.  If you see the big bolt head (22mm head?)  your stop plates are missing.  you might have to remove the black plastic cover first.

I checked my supports -  the left hand one I cannot see any markings however the right hand one has '180' on it.
Looks like I will be looking for the correct supports - thanks for all the advice.
