I purchased new from the classic center earlier this year. Give them a shout.

They are occasionally on eBay. I found one mislabeled this past summer for $60 NOS out of India. I found this one available today https://www.ebay.com/itm/364774204661?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TYg8JGi7Qee&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=0KRbDqKPRpe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hello everyone, this is my first post on here.

I purchased last year a 1969 300SEL 6.3 #2480 from BAT. Car had bad rust in the rear of the rocker panels. Just finally finished all the repairs last week and had a fun time driving the car this past weekend until it started to have a terrible driveline vibration.

The flex disc is completely destroyed after driving the car hard.

Unfortunately I have learned the flex disc is NLA

Does anyone have one I could purchase or does a flex disc from another model fit ?

If I cannot find one I will make a metal flex disc on my CNC to replace the rubber one. Has anyone else tried that ?

I know the modified diesel benz guys that make big power run metal discs with no issues.

If I do make one and it drives good with it. I will make more to list on eBay.

How can Mercedes Benz not make this consumable part anymore for our iconic 6.3s ?


Also if I can post pictures on this forum I will post pictures of how I repaired the Rust on my 6.3. I made everything from scratch except the jacking points. Bought new ones.


Also before I drove my car I inspected everything on my Hoist at home and the flex disc looked perfect. Only lasted 2 days. must have been old.


Let me know what you think guys
