where to buy front emer. brake cable ?
« on: November 23, 2008, 00:48:24 »
Hello All - - my front cable rusted through and failed. The  M-B  p/n   is  113  420  00  85 .

Are these vendors the only way to go?  Any other recommendations?

Millers  $120.00,   SLS  $ 115.00,    K&K - $130.00

Adsitco - no listing,  ClassicCenter - no listing, Local dealer - not tried yet

Thanks for any input - - Larry in CA

Larry,

I am surprised the classic center had no listing

I have had good luck with K&K -  Cheryl at K&K is very helpful. 
As with most parts re sellers I have received parts packaged from Mercedes. 
K&K will also order parts from SLS if you want.
All you have to do is e mail them the SLS part number and or web link with the item number
and in about 2 month the parts show up.
