Richard, after re-reading your e mail I think you were asking for a 
parts house for new parts. If that is the case, let me ask around but to 
tell you the truth, I have found Star Motors on Old Katy Road to be 
competitive with Internet sellers if you want genuine MB parts. I'll ask 
my mechanic. 95% of his work is on MB and I've seen MB stamped stuffed 
in his shop from World Auto Parts. I've not used them but I'll ask.
