Ebay is probably your best bet, but do be careful. I have seen a number of tool kits labeled to be for the 113 cars, that are not. Actually the distinctive item is the tool kit bag. Go to the search engine, limit to "General Discussion" and subject only, and use "toolkit" and you should be able to pull up a good picture.
Most of the separate tools can be had fairly easily, with some patience for searching.

Good advice from JohnnyB, as always.

The difficult items for you to source will be a black wooden-handled screwdriver (very scarce) and the large pliers (moderately difficult). All the other items are standard Hazet tools that were used for years.

If you really want to fill out the kit though, you'll want the fuse pliers (rare) and a plastic fuse holder box (fairly easy to find).

I found a pair of the large pliers, water pump pliers, at Samstag sales, not original of course, but a reasonable substitute, they also had the small plastic fuse box case. I think I paid about $45.

Doug is right about the wood handle for the screwdriver, I had to do some searching for that.

The plastic fuse pliers also show up from time to time. The last pair I saw on ebay had a Buy It Now for $75 plus shipping.
