Slat frame questions

Post by chasendeer » Wed May 17, 2017 11:33 am

Have a couple of slat grill questions.
When did they go away from the early "slat" battery tray? When did the frame change to a "long strap" doubler?
Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay,

From my notes the only info I could find is the changeover on the battery tray. The Slat battery tray was used until MB 120,699.

Hi Jay. Look at this post from 2004. They say the straps changed at about frame # 140XXX. About the 3rd week of March 42 is how I read it.
