460 Selector lever gator
460 230GE swb. The rubber gator around my transfer box selector lever, inside the car, is perished. Is this a original Merc order item or available anywhere else? (have looked without success)
Also a few others ....
Driver & passenger exterior window base trim - ditto.
Rear light seals.
Bolts for alloy wheels (the longer ones)
Plastic plugs for rubber side trims (plug into body to take the screws). - ditto
If there are cheaper sources for any of above I'd be grateful to hear.
Thank you.
All "MB is the supply source unless somebody on Ebay is selling odd bits
Wheel bolts fleabay.. rest MB (I have bought all of those bits over last 2 years..)
wheelbolts for G'wagen only... P/n Ma 460 400 0202 or MA 460 401 0070 for steel wheels ...for alloys MA 140 400 0170.gaiters wear and split so not often on Ebay

Hi,
I've to buy a gear lever gator this week from my dealer/stealer. Not a hardship to order the transfer lever gaitor too. I may decide to change the one you are afer too...so will pass on for a much smaller contribution!
Let me know,
Mart
I had to buy the rubber gaiter for my 300GD 463. I just went straight to your a Merc Stealer. It cost something like a fiver.... presumably the one for the 460 will be a similar price.
Fleabay bolts.. well nearly; still never decided on the radius of the head but they are common Euro bolts at the end of the day.
460/463 (G Class) bolt pattern on wheels is 5x130
There are also 3 different radii for radius seated bolts - 12, 13 and 14mm

Wish I had your stealer, Max!! £40 the pair + 17.5/15% VAT depending when they arrive!!
Was that for a 460? Surely they can't be that much more... or did order the leather gaiters?

For a 460, Max. Tho' no mention of rubber or leather....we'll know Friday!
Just looked it up. £4.29 + VAT. Of course that was a few years ago but surely it can't have gone up 100% per year....

Hi Max, pop whatever u can onto an E,mail and I'll take it with me, Friday ...i.e. part number etc.. Cheers
Anyone got a part no. for the gator/boot?
Just to re-emphasise this is the boot for the transmission selector lever (4wd selector) - not the gear stick.
My local MB dealer cannot find it on his system.
The one mentioned above is for without center console - he initially supplied this and it won't fit - different size and fitting..
Thanks!
Like all Merc parts + the increase in the euro....the prices quoted above are well out.
I bought both boots for my SWB pickup at a cost of £40+!!
If you pm me your address I'll stick the old one in ae envelope. Its fully serviceable...just needs a clean.
Cheers
Thanks Martin! I've replied & we'll hopefully do a little deal .....
I'm impressed by this place. I'm having some of the best time I've had in a long time restoring my lovely old G I've owned since 1991. I'm getting there & it's looking great. Did the MOT today and having been stored for 8 years only failed on brake lights (seems I have fitted single filament bulbs in the rebuild, silly me) and a perished rubber fuel pipe.
I have owned a lot of classic cars in my life including other classic Mercs, Bentley, Aston Martin (landrovers too but I'm afraid didn't qualify - classic .. but not the quality) ... and have always been aware that the G is a GREAT machine.
Some day I may actually join the GWOA and even tell this G's story with photos but for now I would like to say thanks! The info to my questions has been great and very helpful.

Thanks fore your replies. Incidentally I watch ebay regularly but haven't seen wheel bolts under 'g wagon/wagen' ... are they in common with any other vehicle?
