What is the correct slat grill pedal grommet configuration? Is it a set including rubber grommet, metal washer and spring? Or rubber grommer only?

Thanks, Lad.

So what do you install on your Slat pedals? Rubber grommet+washer+spring?

Hello Guys. I’m restoring serial #115466 and I have the same problem
I reproduce felts pads. But some friends notice me that Early Slat’s came with rubber pads.

I web search and I bought 2 rubber groomets pedals in AJParts, but I don’t know how I’ve to assembly that.
Should I use the washer and the cone springs?
Rubber had to passing trough the body holes with small end up?
Can someone show a picture or assembly guide drawing ?
Thanks in advance
Diego

I think the all rubber type is correct for early MB:

These are from The Long Olive Drab Line

There is nothing to assemble with these:

You do not use a washer or cone spring. Just the rubber.

Ok Mark thanks about the photo. !!!

We alredy asembly it on that way too, no springs, and no washer.

But Charly Sainz and I thought that the water who enter from above will have no scape.
And that will make the rubber rot

What do you think about it ?

If it helps, in the last 14 years my GPW has been on the road with these rubber grommets installed, I cannot say that I have seen any water enter them, nor has any which has entered caused an issue. I haven't driven through water deep enough to see them submerged (that'd be fairly deep water!) and do drive in the rain.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Ian.

I do agree with what Mark and Lars (Hobo) have shown, just the grommet with no spring/washer.

Cheers,
Ian.
