My interior door handles have been sagging so I pulled the covers off
and found the "casting" that holds the "roll pin hinge" has cracked. It
is only a matter of time before the rest of the casting cracks do to stress.

Has anyone replaced these? Can it be done without stripping the entire
door? What are the options on parts sourcing?

Carl, all I can say is that I have 2 1983 w123 300'ds used as daily drivers, and I am as happy as a bug in a rug. Maintenance by owner is a happy chore I enjoy doing, unless it is 100F which it will be today.

HELLO--I'm the proud owner of a 2003 W208 CLK320 cabriolet in triple black. I really enjoy it and even with a little over 100K miles it is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic shape.

Years ago, a longtime colleague had an early W123 280CE, pale yellow with a tan interior. I was enamored by the car the minute I saw it. After seeing it in the parking lot every morning, I finally told her that if she ever thought about selling it, I'd appreciate her contacting me first. Several years later she did indeed call me, but I was in no financial position at that time to buy it. I regretted having to do so then and in the years since.

Flash forward to today. I'm a fairly experience MBz owner. I know enough to put a few dollars away for every 100 miles I drive in order to provide the maintenance level the car needs. ...and I am still enamored by W123 coupes, except I've learned that a 300CD would be a better idea (Mercedes run forever, but nothing runs as long as a Mercedes diesel).

I hope this forum will serve as an additional resource in my search for a late W123 300CD for me to lavish some attention on.

Best Wishes--Carl
