107 SL front brake upgrade

Without going to ABS, could the front brakes on an early ('72) 107 SL be upgraded to 560SL discs and calipers?

What else would have to be changed:
- master cylinder?
- front suspension uprights?
- more than that?

I'm not looking for more braking power or anything, just the cosmetic effect of the larger rotors to show through 16" wheels, so if it's too involved (or too expensive), I won't bother.

I have a set of 560SL calipers and rotors, pads (used) that I took off my w124 car because I put SL500 brakes. I think it would be wise to rebuild my calipers if you want to buy them. Let me know,

Austin
