(12-15-2013, 12:35 AM)winmutt I can already tell you YMMV. I spent a good 2 hours a few weeks back fitting 140 brakes on a 124 at the junkyard. The distance between the mount hole to the spidle are the same but the bore was different, the offset was going to require washers and that was enough to have me stick to the 95 e320 brakes for now.
That's what I vaguely remembered when looking for donors at the part yard during my 124 brake upgrade...luckily they had a couple 400E's there when I made that happen.
I remember using my calibrated eyeball that the rotor 'hat' was significantly different setup on the 140.
