« on: August 01, 2019, 02:38:02 »
I cannot seem to find new data plates that  match the ones that are on my cars , they are different numbers then the ones at Authentic.
 Anybody have any ideas . They are for a 68 , 280 sl and 250sl .
 thanks, Paul

Can you show us what you have on your cars?
When Bosch changed its parts numbering system it also changed the face plate. For example a HO/FSA 12/9 became 0 320 213 016.
We had several discussions about this:

I replaced my original horns plates with these. They were perfect replicatas of what I had. My originals were beat up. Pricey🤪🤪🤪

I went to eBay in the middle of the night and saw those.  I wasn't 100 percent sure they were correct for my car but didn't want to risk losing the last one so I bought them and then went to check the originals in the garage. Luckily, they are an exact match.
