'72 w108 vented front rotors
Hello,
I am replacing the king pin bushing and decided to also replace the front brake rotors. They are not completely worn out, but there is a wear lip toward the outside. I wanted to buy new rotors, but they seem to be hard to find. Mine are vented rotors and most places only list solid rotors for the w108, if anything at all. I checked here on Pelican parts and two other online vendors, one a Euro specialist, the other generic. Does anyone know if the w108 vented rotors interchange with any other MB (maybe r107?) front rotors? Or where can I get vented front rotors? Thanks!

Ok, I just looked on a popular auction site and there is one seller that seems to sell the correct vented rotor. I may give that a try.

The ventilated rotors were used on the V-8 W108 Mercedes cars. They are unique to this chassis. The W107 ventilated rotors will not fit. Also be aware that the calipers for the ventilated rotors are wider than those used on the solid rotors.

Thanks for the info!
The rotors from fleabay were the right ones, but they were NOS, so my guess is that this rotor is NLA. I will be keeping my old ones...
