Axle clamp availabilty
« on: October 01, 2009, 21:00:48 »
I have searched and searched here and at suppliers but I cannot find these little clamps, the type WSN one in this drawing http://www.sl113.org/forums/uploaded/ja17/2007122411198_S%20clamp.jpg    Here is a photo of one in use  http://picasaweb.google.com/mercedes280sl/April132008#5188846321890635394  These clamp the parking brake cable and brake lines to the rear axle. Does anybody know where to get them or have any used/new ones for sale? I have completed my rear axle rebuild and this is the only part yet to be sourced. Thank you.

Joe pointed this out as missing on my car in a concours a couple of years back. I got these clamps from Miller's but I think all the usual vendors, count MB among them, have them readily available.

I bought some clamps of this type from the Classic Center and I know they have several sizes. From what I remember, the band material is sold separately in meters and the clamps are sold individually. Measure the width of the band in mm and that is the size you need.

There are two sizes, 5 mm and 9 mm. Banding in the same widths.
