question about sheet metal part#s

[Shvegel]

Hi all,
So I am having some repairs done to my 1970 280 SL by a good friend of mine (Rick Ollah, one of the best metal men I know)up in Duluth Minnesota. He flew into Cleveland a few weeks ago and drove the car home in 14 hours non-stop. After tearing the car down and waiting for my own hyperventilation to subside we are now in the process of ordering parts.
After looking at the current condition of the outer skin of the rocker panels we have decided to change the outer skin and the screw on cover. However, all the diagrams do not seem to show the outer skin. They show the inner rail,a top cover and a rocker panel.
Can anyone help clear this up?
Thanks,
Pat Price

In the full parts manual that I have (10202 - reprint for the 250/280SL) the rocker cover is shown in the Chassis Sheet Metal just after the heating and ventilating section, not in the body parts section (go figure?).
In any case, the part number from MB is 113 883 03 01 left and 113 883 04 01 right.
You can also check with K&K Mfg who supplies most of the MB classic sheet metal in the US.
