"If it's not correct, then its not correct."

I have the nylon pouch version from my aunt's 1985 300D...
Don't know that I'd trust anything in it. I can't recall even unzipping it to look!  ;)

In case anyone is looking for something period to the early 60s, I saw this on Craigslist... I believe this is for VW and Porsche products, though. Nonetheless, it looks nice!

For sure the warning triangle is correct. I have the same one myself, in my European spec Pagoda. These warning triangles were monitory, you had to carry one in your car while living in Germany.

I would never criticize anyone's efforts to restore a classic car to its original condition.  I did it once.  I was very proud of it but found it frustrating to spend much more time keeping it in show(ish) condition than enjoying driving it.  And, I couldn't drive the prizes.

I currently give priority to making my late-1966-built Pagoda as beautiful, as safe, as comfortable and with as much modern car functionality and convenience as is reasonable without being flashy.

I also installed a first aid kit.  I do not remember where I bought it but it is only two or three years old and quite complete.  The mounting system photos that I had seen in this site reminded me of something non-medical and non-automotive.  So I designed a
five-sided box to fit the first aid kit, cut it out from some heavy cardboard, folded and glued it into a holder for the kit and upholstered it with left-over leather from my car interior.  I attached it to the carpet with velcro on the bottom and a plastic push-pin fastener on the kick-panel side.  I expect most people who don't own a Pagoda would not know that it's not "correct".  After all, the car is 58 years old.

In the end, it goes well with my new-condition 1960's five-piece blue vinyl Pierre Cardin luggage set that is the same color as my upholstery.

These holders have fixing holes on both sides, so can be fitted on left or right footwells

I don't have one, but if you look at the images, see reply #12, it looks the same on both sides, but i'm not sure if the part number and star was printed on both sides though

The MB Star and the part number is only stamped on one side, if on LHD be on passengers side of footwell hidden towards panel, or on RHD would be showing on passengers footwell.

Does anybody have one dedicated for a RHD car or isn't there one.

As BobH said, holes on both sides so that you can attach to LHD or RHD foot wells.

I would have thought the holes are to facilitate a screwdriver for fixing and the logo and a different part number for RHD would also be concealed. So I am at the moment thinking there is no RHD holder.
Thank you for your help
