000 542 24 89 is the small knob on the instrument cluster of the Mercedes-Benz W123 - saloon, coupé and estate - where it sits on the cluster's angle drive. Mercedes no longer supplies it, and classic parts dealers list it as no longer available, so a missing or broken knob usually means hunting for a used cluster. Replique labs reverse-engineers the knob from an original and makes new ones to the original shape, as a direct replacement.
