Erick,

The windshield washer bottle bracket (A113 290 00 86) should work for the later models as well.

On the later cars, there's nothing holding it in place. It's tucked into a space where it rests unassisted. (Seems odd, I know.)

There is a hanger.

It used to be hung from the battery holddown on other models-111, etc.  Guess the battery is too far away on the 113s?

On the later cars like Erick's 1971 280 SL, there's no hanger. I'm quite certain of this.
