Andrew,
GO with what Mathieu says. My experience is limited to the 110 and
220Sb 111. My write up is for them, and based on what Mathieu says,
yours IS different. I think it is more or less the same as 108. I
took one of them out, but I don't remember how it came out.
For those in question, here is what a 111 coupe dash looks like.

108 and 111 sedan dashes are very different from the cps/conv. FWIW,
220, 250, and 280 se cps and convs. are all w111 cars. There is no such
thing as a w108 coupe. The rarebird of the class would be the w112
coupes. M189 with air suspension.
While on the issue, sure, that knurled nut on the w108 and w111 cars is
a real PITA to get on and off, it is worth re-installing. Without the
nut, at some point that cluster will pop out of the dash. It may take
10 years or 10 miles, but they do come out on their own. Also, without
the nut, one will often get an annoying dash rattle. The worst part for
me is not getting my hand up in there, it is contorting my back to fit
in the foot well so that I may get my hand in there. Still, a simple
job when compared to R&Ring wiper transmissions on a w111.
Mathieu
