I need to replace the vinyl / MB tex on my dash, windscreen/a pillars and soft top compartment cover. My car still has all the original Caviar (116)
Fuggetaboutidd,
'Unobtainium' how a famous long-termed (Board) member here tend to say.
The early interior style materials (carpet, vinyl = MB Tex) were replaced in late 1967 with the then new 280 SL material choice.
The older material, e.g. the old style deep-dark-grey "caviar" (code 116) was among these replaced materials. They're NLA.
Of course you can get the "younger" black MB-Tex for a 280 SL, which has got a coarser grain.
But the finer grain of the early style MB Tex in not available anymore.
At least I do not know any source for it.
Try to find an as close match of any generic vinyl you can find; then you have to adapt the color by spraying. There are specific dyes available.
Or you find a few left over parts (dash) from parted-out cars, e.g. the vinyl only.
This is posible from time to time ...
Good luck !
