Horn ring brushes, replacements
« on: February 01, 2022, 01:58:42 »
Greetings, Does anyone know where to get a set of horn ring brushes ('70 280SL)?  I've been searching a few of the normal suppliers, nothing.  Someone was in here before me years ago and the repair looks very primitive, speaker wire, still a few strands attached, great!! I can possibly salvage what I have, but it won't be easy.

Cheers and thank you.
JohnnyC.

Thank you so much Pawel, very much appreciated.  I ordered a few sets today from MCC.  Jonny B mentioned that Niemoller has them too, which they do (thank you Jonny B.)

Cheers, God Bless and take care,

I recently replaced mine (280SL). "Horn contact" from PelicanParts.com. Part was $25 but shipping was $14, so not quite a bargain.
