aluminum mounting bracket for power brake booster
« on: June 18, 2024, 16:07:29 »
Greetings all---- I'm in need of the aluminum mounting bracket for the power brake booster for a 1971 280 sl w113.  It's the bracket that fits between the booster and the firewall.

Many thanks ---jon p

The holders for the T 52 with the end number 0440 are rare and unfortunately difficult to find. They were only installed in the late 280's.

I know someone who uses a small wedge to raise the angle of the early holder so that the T52 can be installed.
But T52s are also difficult to get.
It is slowly becoming very difficult to get important spare parts.

T51 140
T52 044 bigger
A T52 with holder 140 sits too low on the frame
