Christian,
I have added you to the list - but it would really help knowing your name and address!

How about adding the information to your profile?

I would like one LHD set for a 65' 230SL. I am assuming it is not too late to get my name in for the second run of pads. I have a paypal acoount. However, I am confused how I go about purchasing this item? Is this process cover in a previous reply? Thanks for the assistance

You need to add your name and address to your profile. This will allow us to send you a PayPal invoice for the order.
Thanks.

Hello

I have been following the forum for a while and have just come across the subject.
I am in the middle of restoring my 1964 230SL and in need a set of these firewall pads for a left hand drive. Can they still be ordered. If yes I would like a set.

I would also be interested in a set of inside firewall pads as well.

Thanks

Gil

Hi Alfred,

I confirmed my interest for three firewall pad sets in a post in this thread on november 17, one for each of my pagodas. As well as in several PM to you directly. Still I am missing from your list. This was after we agreed thru Pm that I would wait for the second batch, since I earlier confirmed that I would take two sets.

Regards,

Hans

Hello Hans,
I apologize for not answering your PM again - you will get the material but I was still trying to find best way to ship.

Hello Christian,
you only get an email notification if you subscribe to the topic. Click on "Topic Tools" and you will see what you need to do.
Second, yes pay the invoice at your convenience and David Gallon will ship you the items, but most likely after the holidays, first week in the new year.

great. done. invoice paid. thanks so much for all your help and merry christmas!

rbradley · « **Reply #186 on:** December 26, 2011, 16:13:28 »

I don't know if this is the right place to do so but I would buy a LHS set if still available. I am also interested in the
Interior pads when they become available.

Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

Hi, If not too late, I should like a LHD set. Thanks, Dale. ('71 280SL)

This thread is for ordering a Firewall pad, getting info about paying, etc.

For information about installing the pad, the pro and cons of using contact cement, a step by step description by an amateur installer, photo of the installed pad, and more, look at http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=15812.0

I'd like to get two pad sets, both LHD. My contact and address info is correct in my profile.

Thanks to all who pulled this off.

Pawel66 · « **Reply #190 on:** January 19, 2012, 14:47:19 »

Dear Alfred,

If it is still possible, I also would be interested in an LHD set (280SL, 1970). I followed your earlier suggestion to go through the German connection, but I am not sure how responsive they would be or even if they did get any sets from you (their site is, in essence, being built). I will add/send necessary details upon your kind confirmation on availability.

Best regards,
Pawel

Pawel66 · « **Reply #191 on:** January 23, 2012, 09:16:57 »

Alfred, looks like the European connection you suggested worked - Mehmed knew of one piece and I am in touch with another colleague to get the pad. I hope it works. I would likestill to be in for the inside and trunk pieces, if possible....

Regards, Pawel

Sigman · « **Reply #192 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:45:46 »

I just saw this... I would love to order one if still available... My original firewall is still in good shape but would love to keep a replacement handy...

Hope it's not too late...

66andBlue · « **Reply #193 on:** January 27, 2012, 17:01:56 »

Hi Michael,
no, it is not too late.

Watch out for a PayPal invoice in your mail box.

Hi

I would like a LHD Firewall pad for my 69 280SL Manual car.

Hello,
please add your name and address in your profile so that we know where to send it.
Thanks!

Here's a photo from the April 1965 edition of Australian Sports Car World showing the firewall pad disintegrating on an almost brand new 230sl. No hope of an original 230sl pad surviving.

That's a nice picture Dave. I wish I could get a high resolution copy of it. Keep in mind that there were at least three different versions of the honeycomb firewall paddings used by MB. The early one you show had a thick backing, often referred to as Coco mat, Jute, Hemp, fiber, that did not provide a good support for the thin shell that was actually the heat resistant/ flame resistant portion of the pad. I believe this is why MB changed the material slightly in subsequent 250SL, 280SL cars and used a stronger "bitumen" layer and a thin 3mm foam backing instead. The foam disintegrated after many years of use as well, but at least the rest of the pad was quite durable and stayed intact on many cars....

Is it too late to order two LHD sets?
Thanks

I need a firewall pad for my 63 220seb coupe.
Can you furnish me with a firewall pad or supply with enough material so I can make one?
Please advise as I need one asap.
Peter
