Can someone measure their rocker mouldings for me?

[Scottcorvette]

I have a problem with the rocker mouldings on my 64 230SL. Mine measure 63 1/4" from end to end but are 1/4" too long to fit my new fenders. I am trying to decide to modify these or order new ones, I don't want to order new ones and find they are the same length and I've gone wrong somewhere else.

Id be grateful if someone with a 1965 onward car could measure theirs and see if they are 63" long.

The outer ones that boarder the rubber step pad?

The ones on the side of the car that are painted black (or grey...)

Scott, mine measure 63" along the top, even a smidgen shy of that.  Definitely not 63.25".

Mine are 12 year old factory parts and both measure 62-13/16"  Left one has a part number of 1138830301

Thanks guys, that what I suspected. I cant bring myself to chop these up so I've ordered a new pair, if anyone ever needed a set of the early longer ones I bet they'd have a devil of a job to find them. No doubt I'll come across them again in my stash when I'm old and grey....

Once again the power of the group is demonstrated to the full! Thanks again.
