+1, its not a big deal to reproduce even if based on a R129/W140 cable.
I'm seeing current MSRP of $137 USD, should be about $100 from discount dealers in USA.
I let Eddie Alexander of MB Annapolis know that both the rear windscreen and throttle cable for the .036 are available. He confirmed this, and confirmed stock of both in Germany (still), and told me this morning that he made the changes in their RevParts system to reflect this status, and make the parts orderable through www.getmercedesparts.com
Yeah - $55 shipping is insane in the membrane. Try MB of Laredo. MSRP $132, discount $95, shipping should be reasonable-ish. They tack on a 2% processing fee though. Laredo's checkout is showing a very reasonable $7 shipping to my zipcode. Link below:
Great question, Jon. Need someone to post a photo of the label on a recently-purchased cable, to see what the date code is.
When I looked at the Laredo site I didn’t see it available. They are normally my go-toYeah - $55 shipping is insane in the membrane. Try MB of Laredo.

Apparently, since this part was resurrected from the dead after a temporary NLA, a number of the RevParts dealers still show "Discontinued" which is not true. Husker, Covington, Naperville all show Disco/NLA because they need to manually update their website to reverse the discontinuance, and nobody ever did that. MBCC shows throttle cable 1243006630 is still available.
Hello Guest !
We wanted to let you know about a new resource that is now available to all 500Eboard members. This is a comprehensive database of all US-market (and soon to include Canadian-market) 500E and E500 models delivered for the 1992 through 1994 model years.
Data for this resource has been compiled continuously since mid-2003, and much of this information is seeing the light of day for the very first time ever. This new resource will allow you to utilize 500Eboard research and resources to track specific cars, their sale history, documented modifications, and other information that has surfaced over the years.
We are also providing analytics about the cars' production. This means that if you are curious as to how many "Signal Red" cars were produced for the US market with a black interior, specifically in Model Year 1993, you can now easily find this information. You can also find aggregated information -- for example, how many "Black Pearl" cars were imported into the US over the three-year span.
You can always find and enjoy this resource by clicking here (bookmark the site for easy reference!), or by going to the “500Eboard Registry and VIN Database” sub-forum below. You can also find a VIN Database button at the top of your screen, for easy access.
We hope you enjoy this resource. A LOT of blood, sweat and tears over nearly 23 years have gone into its creation.
Cheers,
500Eboard Management
