Anyone know where to get the yellow (probably were white at one time) plastic bushings on the pivot / bellcrank assembly located on top of the valve cover on a 240D? Mine are very worn and need to be replaced, reference the pictures below.

First what a great car to own.
Now to your issue.
The MB heritage place (NAME might be wrong) I think sells old parts like this: Mercedes-Benz Classic Center USA - Official Online Parts Store | Mercedes-Benz Classic USA Parts Store
Call them is best bet.
3D printer?
Machine shop make from scratch based on using old part to measure from?
Junk yard?

This mechanism goes down to the throttle butterfly linkage. I removed the bracket so I could get better pictures of the plastic bushings. Still haven't been able to locate them. But haven't called around either. Maybe today. Edit: They were closed so I sent them an email with these pictures. Hopefully they can help. I will post up if there is a resolution.

Since I am loading pictures, here are some after I walnut blasted all the components. And a picture of them installed behind the air cleaner.

Update: Mercedes-Benz Classic Center USA replied they don't have the part and said the bushings were permanently installed from the factory. Anyone want to 3D print some plastic bushings?
