The original ones are moulded onto the metal assembly and I haven't seen the replacement bolt on ones around for a number of years.
I purchased a set of bolt on replacements from the US about 5 years ago
I believe the original "fore -aft seat runner handles" from the front of the base have an angle to them but the side "height adjustment" handles will work OK but just sit flatter but not visa-versa.
As Bill says, there are in short supply. In fact, I think I bought the last few they had when I realised they were getting hard to find and I had 4 W116's at the time. They are still in their bags, so I can get you the part number if required.
Thanks Craig. I'll follow up on that.
Not "2 drivers' seats" but " 2 driver's side base adjustment handles".
The apostrophe is the dead give away!
Sometimes there are 2 drivers and that is when the eject button comes in handy....

Hi BenzBoy, try and let us know how you get on. Incidentally, for those that may not know, it is only the 6.9s that have height adjustment on both front seats. Regards Styria

OK - I am going to order a pair from Mercedessource. The cost for each is $US17 plus postage. The minimum international order is $75 so does anyone else want in on this?
