Ray;

 

I must've missed how to replace the center console and gear shift knob
e-mails (I am going to have mine re-finsihed).  Do you happen to have those
posts and can you forward them to me?  Or at least pojnt me in the right
direction to find them. Thanks for your help hope all is well.

 

Cheers,

 

Greg

Subject: [SPAM] [R129 SL] Steering Wheel Replacement

 

I have recently purchased a replacement steering wheel, gearshift assembly
and walnut roll top for the centre console of my 1990 500SL.

 

Thanks to the advice from this group I have replaced the gearshift assembly
and the roll top for the centre console without a hitch.

 

I now need to replace the steering wheel, I have studied the MBUSA CD and
also an MB workshop manual and neither cover the subject.

 

Can anyone offer advice; I am reluctant to tackle the job 'blind' and risk
the airbag exploding in my face!

 

Regards
