No - go to http://www.wheelskinscover.com which is where I got mine (2) some 5 years ago. Never been happier with any aftermarket product for my 300d's. Got to be one of my greatest purchases and investments. Makes me feel like a race car driver every time I get behind the wheel.

RE: [diesel_mercedes] Steering Wheel cover

 

Would an upholstery shop be able to do this?

Or eBay:

[diesel_mercedes] RE: PAP Visitations

 

For W123 - brake line connector donut nut that screws into the rear brake hose.  To get it you would cut the metal brake line just above the flexible brake hose, unscrew it from the brake hose, and toss the piece of metal brake line. 


I stripped one of these and ended up using vice-grips to get it back together.  One day I'm gonna fix it.  I haven't checked for new part...maybe it's only three bucks new, anyone know?  I don't even know the part number.  In fact, I don't even know what it's called.  Unless it's called the "brown nut."
