When I did my conversion (link in post 73) I didn't weigh them,
but the aluminum arms are much heavier. The difference with the calipers is that they are mounted on the front side. The anti-squat bar (sway bar) is a direct bolt on for a 126, The larger bolt holes are under the existing sway bar brackets and have rubber plugs in them. I am very happy with the results. Car handles better and there is no more bottoming out like I used to have. I have a spare 12 gal fuel tank in the trunk which adds a fair amount of weight. I pulled everything from a 500SEL. Jeff |

According to Stretch it won't work on a 123 unless you are willing
to shorten the width of the anti-squat bar with cutting and welding since the 126 is wider than the 123. Then you have to figure out the bolt holes, which are missing on the 123. The 126 has two sets of bolt holes. For me, it was pretty much plug n play. I was doing the whole rear end anyway with new subframe bushings, axles and a 2.88 diff. Ran across the aluminum TA in the JY when I had everything torn apart and thought I would give it a try. Glad I did. Jeff |
My bad ... I thought you did this on a W123. So, the only R&D so to speak is tapping holes for the rear SB brackets and mod-ing the rear SB (for W123 applications).

Nice to hear a success story.
One of these days I'll drag my W123 out of storage and get this done. I have just arranged for some hobby garage space but seeing as I'm chasing old Land Rovers I might not get to do the W123 for a while yet! |
