And double check if it really does have the floatplane reinforcement kit.
Many M5s before 1979 did not.

The drawing will be the most substantial check, meanwhile if you open your double rear doors, raise the sill trim towards the middle door post, enough to ease the side trim piece away from you so you can see if there is a flat steel plate with large lightening holes in it welded to the triangular truss going from sill to lower longeron, then it is most likely you have the reinforcement.
