Your best bet is to go to the Motoring Investments website and click on the Mercedes page.  Scroll down a couple cars to the white "Holy Grail" car.  This is a very low mile W113.  When you get to the underbody pictures if you click on them you will get a larger view.  You can also download and print them for reference.  Brian Peters the owner of Motoring Investments was kind enough to leave up his old website so we could use it for research.  Brian seems to only want to get involved with either very original or very well restored cars so virtually every car there is a good reference.

A couple you might miss in the photos are the bracket for the fuel pump, the reinforcement plates where the fuel tank retention nuts are(You may not have these plates) and the bracket for the brake proportioning valve.
