I can guarantee that you will move that 4 pot conversion up the priority list one you have the car running. I thought I would be ok as long as I don’t go mad, however in reality these things build up so much speed that after overtaking and a half decent stop to filter back into traffic the brakes are HOT.
I’m hunting down some early R129 500 SL 4 pots for my car at the moment.

(05-28-2015, 07:32 AM)Hario W209 S500 4-pots fit my W202 so they might fit the W124? Worth investigating as they are aluminium, brembo and £50 each on ebay (in the UK anyway..)

That's some good progress Jon! Would you like me to send you another engine cover?
