They are cheap enough to buy ... come up on eBay fairly often. I was given one for nothing by an M-B dealership!

Thank for ur sugestion; found one on E,bay Its a universal stand ,which also has a cover for hard top, but items came off 98 300 sl. WILL THESE ITEMS FIT A 91 500SL Thanks again

Yes, hard top dimensions didn't change on the R129 (although the panoramic one is heavier and balances slightly differently).

Cover for the hard top is a good idea, mine lives in a padded bag (which is actually designed to be hung on the garage wall rather than using a stand). Make of my bag is Auto-Pak ... they come up on eBay sometimes.

Here's something similar:

Hi Bill, just wondering if you can tell me when the soft top is up can you see the metal struts holding the top or are they in a casing do you have any photos. Thanks Reg.

 

[BTB 500]

Yes the metal struts supporting the soft top are visible inside the car when the hood is up.

oil pressure

HI,Bill; can u tell me. when you start up your 500sl, where does yr oil pressure gauge sits?[psi]
thanks Reg

 

[BTB 500]

It shows 3 on the dial, I think. Only ever drops (slightly) below that when idling and hot. The handbook says what the pressure should be, from memory it's permissible to go down 1 at idle so long as it increases instantly the revs go up.
