So, did MB make a manual brake system for the W123 or something which would be clearly adaptable without a bunch of R&D.

I highly doubt it. The only manual setups I've heard of were on base model Rangers and old Jeeps.
I will be keeping the manual brakes on my Jeep project, but probably going to a bigger MC.
I want manual brakes because it's predictable-you get the same pedal response with the engine on or off, and eliminated the VP and booster as failure points
