Pretty certain the starters are on different sides.

Thanks for asking and sorry I missed this reply.
I've got more updates on Benzworld...but nobody is really active on my posts other than me. Guess it's not exciting enough or something.
I've gone with a 5 speed manual (717.413) from a W124 with the 5 cylinder OM602, which shares the same bolt pattern and starter location. So all should be ok there.
I've also decided to upgrade the fuel pump and go mechanical. 7.7mm element job from DPUK. Quite expensive but should be good.
I've got the 605 out and on a stand.
240D still in the 123 and just waiting/prepping for a space inside my garage to really sink my teeth into this.
Trying to sell the om616 and manual 4 speed but absolutely no takers or even tire kickers over here.
My current research is about getting a tachometer going in the 123. It has no tach. I've spent hours and hours researching but still wondering which way to go.
More on that in the next installment!
