(01-12-2010, 01:08 AM)ForcedInduction The Gen-II brake upgrade is done! Thanks to Tom Judd for use of his shop and his time helping.
All the parts were from a 1990 420SEL. The backplates and calipers fit exactly to the 300D spindle and I bolted the rotors to the stock 300D hubs. The only major car change needed was the 15" wheels. It definitely stops much quicker and the rotors aren't nearly as hot after the 70mph "panic stop" test. Pictures will be added later, I left my camera in the 240 and Tom will e-mail the ones he took.
I am of the opinion that a better booster can be had for this setup. The later models had a doubled chamber looking booster.
1987 300D Sturmmachine
1991 300D Nearly Perfect
1985 300D Weekend/Camping/Dog car
1974 L508D Motoroam Monarch "NightMare"
