Last part first....

I didn't convert the rear rotors.....I converted the front. The car is a 1985 W124 300d non-turbo euro car....a very early W124. It had solid front rotors. I made the mistake of trying to turn them but they were too thin. (I'm glad my buddy only charged me 10 bucks to turn both...lesson learned....check for the minimum thickness number on the edge of the rotor). I found solid rotors at coximports.com but after I snapped off a bleeder, then broke a ez-out off in it, I needed a caliper and could not find one for the solid rotor anywhere. The guys at cox imports allowed me to exchange them for the updated vented setup like W124 turbo 300D's and 300E cars came with. I appreciated the help.

Second part....

The car has 248k on it. As for the cover, you may be talking about a different pump. This cover appears pressed on...no rivets or screws. I am not sure what a 617 pump looks like.

thanks for the help...
