Hello Andy,

The 190SL ponton, has no clutch reservoir. It is an all mechanical clutch, using linkages and no hydraulics. It does look like a 190SL ponton "brake reservoir" which is larger than a W113 clutch reservoir.

Hi,

The Clutch reservoir is 'waisted' where it is clamped

I bought this part. Looks the same but larger diameter, and has a yellow dot cap instead of blue dot or all black. Smooth textured cap instead of fine grain. It comes with a silver colored mounting bracket, not cadmium or zinc.
I will not be using mine for that reason, I will sell it when I get around to it.
But! It will work, no doubt about it.
