Hello
I recently bought a 1966 Mercedes 230S. The car has a 66' 250SE Engine in it (M129 Fuel Injected).
Now I would like to convert the rear drum brakes to disc brakes. Which/ What kind of parts do I need to use? Are they here available here on PelicanParts?

Thank You, Yannick

Did you buy the black one with the red interior that was for sale on the FL Craigs list? That car looked like a real beauty. There aren't a lot of the "fintails" left in good shape.

You can convert the rear brakes to disks if you swap out the differential/axle assembly with one from a W108 vehicle. I'd say it is more trouble than it's worth though. The front disks/rear drums work fine and parts are generally available, except for the shoes (which you can just have re-lined when the time comes).

Yeah i bought the Red n' Black one (I call her Rosie <3).
Thank You for the quick answer.

I think it is worth the change, not just to add rear discs, but to change the entire rear axle to one from a V8 W108. Our Fintails have a 4.? to 1 rear end ratio, which makes for a high revs at highway speeds. The V8 has a 3.23:1 ratio, which makes the M180 / 130 much more relaxed on the highway.

I will say those cars do rev up quite a bit on the highway. My '68 230 Fintail turns over 3,000 RPM at 55 miles an hour. It's really turning over when the speed is up around 70. I wouldn't mind it having an overdrive gear!

If you go up in tire diameter you can help that rev problem a little, but your speedo will be off a little.
