« on: July 15, 2024, 11:50:43 »
We know that the US 113's 70 &71 had the Bundt's as a dealer installed option, was this also available in Europe ?

Indeed, see price list 02/1971 for extras ("Alufelgen"): https://www.pagodenteile.de/info/31.htm.

The forged Fuchs alloys, Bundts, Barock etc became a factory option in the 1971 model year after July 1970. Code 640. The dealer option before consisted of 4 alloys with a steel spare. The factory option had 5 alloys with a different spare wheel holder as the Bundt does not fit on the steel spare mounting.

This is a spare wheel holder for a alloy wheel.

I have never seen a Bundt mount in a 113 do you have a picture with tire in and out so I can see mount?

Did you fabricate this yourself?
