Warning Triangles

So I was chucking my junk mail after work... the kind that comes from the USPS... and I found this in the catalog they sent me this month.

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/2-used-german-military-warning-signs.aspx?a=792379

Looks very similar to the wagon triangle. and you get 2 for $18

I ordered some, I'll post pics with it compared to my Euro spec triangle once they come in the mail. If anyone is interested.

Anyone know where you can get the top twist lock to hold it up to the trunk lid?

I got mine from Billybob but he was banned recently and i'm not sure how to get a hold of him.... they tend to pop up on ebay and other places.

The Warndreicke (trunk triangle) clips are not expensive,

I don't have the parts number but try calling your dealer of the Mercedes Benz Classic Center and they can get you one fairly quckly, most likely.

I have a clip and a triangle- but no sedan or coupe to put it in. Instead I have three wagons versions and two wagons. I used them for my kids when they ride their bikes on our street.

My gray market 190E 2.3-16 has the trunk lid mounted triangle. I like the way that when the trunk is open, the trunk lip mounted light illuminates the triangle to the degree that it practically glows.

I bought a new clip from Tom Hansen at the Classic Center. Don't remember the price which means it was not much.

I've had a triangle for a while, and have few extra 126 clips for the trunk lid. I check the cars at the Pick N Pull its odd the cars I find the clips in, some of them are not Euro spec.
