Hi
Have a 1976 350 SL and have a couple of questions I hope that some one can answer or help out with
1) my car seems to have aftermarket elec window winders fitted as the door cards have been cut and what appears to be black plugs or bungs fitted I removed them to check and there appears to be some kind of gear drive
question is can I remove and if so will/can the windows be lifted/lowered manually or do I need to change out the glass/runner mechanism
I do not mind if i return to good old manual window winders but theses black plugs do look crap and stand proud of the door cards and again I do not want to fix what ain;t broke
2) Handbrake lever
Does any one know how easy/hard it is to remove the rubber grip thingy and lever button as I intend to have the lever chrome plated
3) Dash board top my dash is badly split and it needs replacing can any one recomend any where were I could source a replacement or has any one had experience of the thin plastic covers that I saw on an american site
Also how difficult is it to remove or can I just rip it out as it really is pretty bad
4) US spec head lights I prefer the look of these twin lamp units again does any one know where I may be able to source and could they be fitted to UK spec car
Regards Bill Mac
