Hi All

I've been trying to buy a left hand outer sill for a SWB but MB say they're having some problems with supply/steel quality or something. Anyone know more about this? Anyone know where I could source one, anyone have one? Regards Scott.

Re: Sill availability

Usually a dealer item, it is worth asking from the dealer to do a UK dealer search or a Europe dealer search for the stock of the item.
Failing this, try the addresses I have enclosed.  The first address,  they do not speak English, use the Google Translate programme, I use, to communicate with them.  The second, ORC, is very competent in English.

Good luck,

Re: Sill availability

Hi Scott

Bit of a flyer without a chassis number but fixwin is partly right in my opinion...

Assuming it is a 460 chassis?

EPC lists A460 637 07 35 as inner sill (not handed) 2 fitted to vehicle £55.00 gbp each + vat available in Germany

also lists A460 637 09 35 as 0uter sill left 1 fitted to vehicle £70.00 gbp each + vat part not currently available

also lists A460 637 10 35 as 0uter sill right 1 fitted to vehicle £74.00 gbp each + vat part not currently available

obviously the very front section (8 inch or so) is part of the "a" pillar panel and the rear section (10 inch or so) is part of the "b" pillar

and rear wing section.

A dealer in Germany is showing the left outer sill at Nutzfahrzeuge Grossjohann GMBH & Co of Efringen- Kirchen Tel + 49 7628

91100  email b.grether@grossjohann.eu - Most German dealers have a English speaking person and are usually very helpful and in

my experience are reasonable with shipping charges and take Paypal etc. This looks like the last one available in Europe at the 

minute so you might want to snap it up if you need it.

Thanks

Gav

Re: Sill availability

This particular panel is not complicated for a fabricator to manufacture you one, he will need your vehicle to make a pattern from to work.  Look up your local area for metal fabricators.

Re: Sill availability

Hi Rakesh

Yes, I could relatively easily make it myself, but the FULL panel has it's complications, and as it is visible/cosmetic and holds the good shape of that part, I just prefer it to be original. Cheers Scott
