Which V-BELT to use? 500SL (M117.960) Please help!
Hi all,
Long story short, I recently got a 09.1980 500SL euro spec RHD (M117.960) engine and I would like to begin working on it.
Received car with engine being worked on (abandoned).
No longer have the original belts and the pulleys sit empty as it is.
Would like to get a new set of all the 5 belts however I can not seem to find a specific diagram or forum post for my model/engine referencing the sizes to use.
Many sites recommending fit, or filtered for my engine like the SLShop, still all seem to show different size belts. Really in a limbo here.
Any advice would be greatly welcomed and appreciated. New to the platform and look forward to interacting with you all in the future.
