Unhappy Brake Backing Plate

Hi folks.
I have an R129 SL500 (year 2000) and am trying to source the front left and right brake backing plates for the car.
(vin No:- WDB1290682F193***)
The part numbers are:-
A1294201844 Left and A1294201944 Right.
I live in Dublin (Ireland) and have been on to my local dealers who have reported that the parts are no longer manufactured and so are no longer available.
I'm hoping some of you may have suggestions on where to try or perhaps if the backing plates from any other models would fit? Are there any outside manufacturers making these?
Any help very much appreciated and thanks in advance.
Regards.
Eoin.

Hi Eoin.

Either a scrapyard or an kind email to MB Classic Center, if you have the time, would be my attempts.

Cheers, Frank

Hi Frank.
Yeah, I've contacted quite a few breakers (some specialising in Mercedes) and Mercedes Europe for advice.
Hopefully something will turn up!
