Does anyone have the email of the guy in Germany?
SKB
...and maybe some of the "gasket" pieces that go between the colored plastic piece and the wood? I see that he has a chromed one on his site (thought those were for the 3.0si, etc and the e9 ones were colored like the plastic piece?) Are the above chromed metal pcs NOS as well? Appreciate your initiative on all of this.
I have no photo..go to Keshav's post above, to Kevin's ebay pages, there is a picture of one on page 3, about number 20 down from the top. Only 12 euros, but shipping says 60 euros! If you look at lots of (google or other) images where the armrest meets the wood, you can just make out the 1/2-round bead edge where it is attached to the wood...Someone made a few a while back that looked like black rubber (not sure what the material actually was). I actually talked to a lady instructor at our local community college about doing some in PVC with a 3d model machine this morning...I don't own the piece to have them scan it tho, and not sure that her supervisor would have the same interest.
The bases for the armrest caps are a soft and flexible plastic and the color matches the caps. They were never chrome on the e9, those were for later e3 models.working on the tan ("Nylonbraun") moldings ... if those materialize we can get some of Kevin's other stuff same shipment but seems there is some disagreement as to whether these "gaskets" should be chromed or colored plastic ...
