Heavy Duty Trunk Triangle?

I was at the junkyard today and was rooting around in a 220D W114 and was sorting through garbage and found....a trunk triangle with a vinyl cover!

This triangle has cast feet as opposed to the thin stamped feet of the others. Does anyone else have one of this type? It weighs over 5 pounds!

That's the same kind I got out of a 78 280E.

Does it fit in the trunk lid of a W123 sedan?

I think the only one that won't fit on the trunk bracket is the fuel can triangle.

The only thing I changed on my trunk was to move the springs a notch out.

Nice, leaking diesel all over the trunk contents.

Seems odd since my 6.9 has an older (presumably) and lighter (cheaper to produce) one and typically it's the other way around with things.

I have those two, check the official triangle thread. I posted the differences between the heavy duty and the lighter versions. Yep, weighs a whole lot more and will probably not be blown away should you need to use it and place it on the road...

The one pictured has two of the 4 feet. The right two feet (when collapsed) are present, the other two are not. I dug around everywhere in the car and didn't find them.
