Source for 280sl Connecting Rods
« on: June 17, 2010, 13:22:38 »
I need 2 connecting rods for my '71 Pagoda.  Do you know of a source for these preferable in the US?

Thanks,
B.

Hello,

Plenty of good used ones around.  A machine shop can recondition them as good as new for little money. Check with Dan C. , Metrics etc.  and other vendors.

Did you find them yet? I know I had some at one time but I am not sure if I still do.

Let me know and I will check.

I know of a machine shop that will have them.
Don't know if they will separate a set of six, though.

Thanks all.  There seem to be so may varieties out there, I could not be certain any of the used ones I located would fit.  So i decided to order 2 from the dealer who is getting them in from Germany any day down.

Thanks again.
