Usually the W113 tool bags are stowed inside the black vinyl spare tire cover.  You unsnap a flap on the top of the cover. But on some early cars the lug wrench and tire mounting pin snap into place under the spare where they are prone to rust out.

I've been checking some configuration items and modifying a few low-level config options.
I have the feeling there is some improvement, but please check and let me know how you go...

What I do notice is that the first couple of page loads are very slow, and then it appears to speed up a little.

Dear all,

regrettably when the slow down occurred I was travelling to an exhibition in Germany and also full time at this exhibition. I did log in on the system and could not find anything out of the ordinary on our system. The load is low, nothing has changed.

I've just submitted a ticket to the webhoster.

The tool bag in the W111 coupe/cab is mounted to clips welded to the rear trunk wall. The lug wrench clips to that and the tool bag hangs from that. Where is the W113 bag stored? I don't recall it being in the same space.

W11x chassis cars / Correct tool kit for W111
« Last post by wwpepper on Today at 01:44:49 »
The general consensus seems to be that the tool kits for W111 cars is the same as found in the W113---vinyl or canvas with snaps part number being 1125800007.  A review of dealer parts books shows that the wraps seen in W113 actually first appeared in 1961 in W112 cars.  I have the 9/69 dealer parts book for my 1969 280SE and it clearly shows by drawing and part number 1865850001 under the tool kit section  that my car is supposed to have the same canvas bag that came with the 190sl cars up to 1963, not the wrap seen in the Pagodas or W112 cars. I can see how the very first  W111s might have the old canvas 190sl bags, but why would they have those clear up to 1970s?  Does anyone know of any service bulletins or research that would dispute the dealer parts book?  I would rather carry the nicer W112/113 tool bag, but that is not what is shown in the dealer parts book as correct for W111 cars. Does anyone have a dealer parts book for any W111 that shows a drawing of the W112/113 wrap or do all W111 parts book show the 190sl bag?
