Great, thanks. I will buy a set from this seller and have it sent to a friend in the US, where I am passing by later this year.
Nope.
Christian,
Those
are wrong. Those (in the advert) are the escutcheons for the sedan's seats (where the chrome pedestals pass through) - there where we have the oval ones.
The escutcheons/rosettes/grommets you are looking for were never separately available...;
i.e. you have "to part out" an existing headrest in order to get them.
The correct headrest for the Pagodas are the ones Mercedes used in contemporary cars until Apr/1972 (only the pedestals, chrome arms are slightly different). The ones thereafter look similar but are wrong (see the pics), a well trained eye can easily see the difference.
The side escutcheons are openings for a 10 mm ratchet nut in order to gain access to the M6 (metric) spanner width 10 mm hex heads of the chrome legs/pedestals, in order to be able to tighten those.
These escutcheons are not separately available, only repros (as mentioned above, Bud's Benz, etc.)
and those were NOT available in any interior color
but only:
light grey - for ivory or parchment interiors
light brown - for cognac and I believe bamboo interiors, see attachment
dark brown (I have just learned...) for brown interiors, see attachment
and dark grey - for all other interiors (blue, green, black, red, etc.)
So, if you want to go correct, you need dark grey grommets/escutcheons, nothing else.
Easiest way is to find proper headrests.
Good luck,
Achim
