Interesting...the Red 280SL project I am currently working on was previously a manual but someone has attempted to swap it to an auto - I have yet to attempt to start it. The one thing I am struggling with is how the D Jettronic ECU is held up in the front footwell. This car didn't come with a bracket and the bracket from my 450SL parts car is different. My other 280SL is 1976 and has the later K Jetronic different system. Mike

Hi John - I'm around...although I plan to go up to the SL open day on 19th. Just let me know when suits you. Mike

Fantastic. Give yourself a pat on the back as you have just saved me a packet as I've been looking on Ebay for some old under mats. Many thanks

Thanks for you comment. Yes - I was surprised at how well they came out. The softer (more expensive) foam (Dodomat) gave a better result Its not cheap...but there again neither is an SL. Mike

OMG this is a great video. Looks better than factory & the material is better too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks - coming from the master, that is high praise indeed! I happened to watch the video below and was reminded at how long it takes and how much it costs to sort one of these old mercs out properly. How's your latest acquisition? Mike kzread.info/dash/bejne/n3Vnu6WeYs2cirw.html&t

Thanks Mike! This is on my list of things to do but wasn't sure how to go about it.

Great video as usual, re carpeted my 450SL on the first lockdown, got the carpets from TechAutoUk, great quality. Unfortunately the underlaying pads were missing but with video I think I can make them. Thank you for sharing. Ps. Sad to have seen your other 280SL gone to the yard

trying to find one for my RHD 86 300sl (drivers footwell) apparently the later models have a different design of mat to the earlier models, proving a nightmare to try and find one! Threw my old one away as it was wet so have nothing to use as a stencil either! Nightmare!

Hi - have you tried Mercedes to see if they still make them? Next stop would be SL shop. I’m out in Australia at the moment but can ring around when I get back if you have no luck. Mike
