Got my triangle in the mail yesterday and mounted it this morning.
Did you notice how many of us have jugs of oil in the trunk?

Finally a Club I can be a member of!

I tried hard to join the cheap TD club, but when I made the offer to the guy for the Euro spec manual completely frame off restoration of $1,000... he hung up on me...

One of the rivets that attaches the triangle to the base on mine broke.

Still waiting for that part number ... if you could post it for us. Thanks

Was able to get a foldable type for the S124

I just bought one at Pull-A-Part for a few dollars. It was in a Euro 1977 280SE, underneath a bunch of construction waste in the trunk.

I test drove an '87 W124 earlier today {sadly, not a diesel} and it had a triangle in the trunk. It had the real thin legs on it, though. I'm not sure I knew W124's had them also. Not a gray market car.

The one I sold to daw came from a 1985 W124 euro. Looked exactly the same, but I didn't pay close attention.

Is this the one? Or is this the one I got from LutzTD? Oh, by the way, Coda is in the club.



And you don't even want to know what those parts are on the left side of my trunk.
