Factory Brush Bar Hardware

I am shopping for a used brush bar for my 2002 g500 and many of the ones on ebay would not include all the required hardware need for a complete install. Has anyone been down this road and found the needed hardware separately from say a MB dealer?

Perhaps someone could help with part numbers?

Thank you all!

Re: Factory Brush Bar Hardware

The hardware is rediculously expensive. Small parts cost up to and more than $100 per piece. Better to find a complete brush guard that has been removed from a G and is not a Made in China copy. They are out there. A cheap $150-$300 incomplete brush guard will end up costing you the same as, or more than, a $500-$700 complete unit. Some of the no hardware units are stolen as well, easy to do with the correct tool.

I recommend searching Craigslist in the large metropolitan areas within driving distance of your residence. You will find one within 6 months guaranteed.

For example:

RE: Factory Brush Bar Hardware

To bad this wasn't posted earlier. I just gave away on Craigslist two bull bars (one cut, but genuine MB and one knock-off) with mounting hardware and the special tool. I would have preferred to have given it to a forum member. Should have kept the special tool though because it is missing from my new G. Bummer.

Re: Factory Brush Bar Hardware

Perfect advise, thank you! I did find one on CL in Denver for $400, Im going to pick it up next weekend. The uprights will need some love though, powdercoat I imagine.

Now to solve my damaged front bumper issue.

Is a sub $1000 tow pin bumper a pipe dream? I have had little success finding one. Maybe I should just stick with the non-pin version.

We do carry a few brush guard parts, like the locking pin and the brush guard tool.
