[R129 SL] schematic request

[Paul Samarin]

Are there better fuses available?  IOW, are you suggesting that we  
swap out our plastic/lead fuses for something better than stock, or  
our you saying that our old cars simply need the old fuses replaced  
often?

Also, my owner's manual was recently stolen.  Can I order a "complete  
fuses" replacement "kit" or just go to MB dealer and say, "Gimme 10/ 
each of the whites, reds and blacks"...?

Thanks,

Paul
'90 500 SL...needing full fuse replacement, I'm sure.
