Subframe recall for 1974 450SL

Tony is right on target with his warning for owners to be more aware of this subframe situation. I’m surprised that so few US owners are aware of the risk and need for repair. I successfully found an intact subframe for gussets but then found another that was already recall compliant with the factory made reinforcements. The latter was installed in my car and the former is at my MB mechanic’s shop to see if another classic car owner ever has the same need and would like to purchase it.

Thanks again for all you help!

Thanks Laura, I know that when i was driving this SLC I was hitting corners hard and throwing the car around a fair bit, the SLC is fairly structurally solid but I felt slight body flex so Id hate to think of whats going on underneath the SL's.
BTW the front subframe out isnt a huge job and considering how tight it is to get to Steering box and exhaust components its got to come out sooner or later im sure.
