Bit of a long shot, but I'm trying to make a couple of keyrings for my nephews.

I remember a while back seeing some cuff links made from a section of journal bearing from a Porsche or somesuch. These kids are obsessed with Mercedes and I thought it would be cool to do this for them and I thought Ebay would be awash with small, used parts going for pennies that I could use. Turns out that's not the case.

Anyone know of any parts that I could get hold of, preferably used (cooler, but also cheaper) that would have an AMG/Merc logo stamped on them and where I could get one (haven't bothered scrounging round the back doors of a main dealer yet)? I was thinking bearings, valves, valve springs, rockers etc. Anything that could be cleaned/drilled/ground to take a chain/keyring and held in a pocket.

Try giving Dronsfields a call. They are Mercedes breakers.

Should have something knocking about that could work...
