Dimensions Needed
« on: June 10, 2016, 00:58:59 »
Hello:
I'm looking for the dimensions of the front overhang for a 230SL, although I'm sure all models are the same.
That is, the distance from the wheel center to the outermost portion of the front bumper.
Same for the rear if possible.

Thanks for any help.

You might be able to calculate plus measure using the data here: http://www.sl113.org/wiki/ChassisBody/Chassis

That measurement will vary between vehicles. The front caster will influence that measurement. The rear will have a similar variance based on the rear axle position and status of all the bushings. Just curious as to what you are trying to measure up?

I need the measurements for a trailer. I just need to be within a few inches.
The drawing helps but I need to the distance to the bumper.

Thanks,
